This year’s Stoking the Fire theme, Rediscovering the Fundamentals, is about reclaiming the fundamentals of our spiritual fire—getting us to a place where we can empower the core strength of our faith. We will be exploring questions about the space between ideal and real. What do we consider fire? Does everyone’s fire need to be identical? How do we show up for ourselves and one another when all we have is a small spark? What does it look like to stoke the flames of spiritual fire when it is raining and damp and the kindling is wet?
Speakers this year will feature FUM staff General Secretary Kelly Kellum, Global Ministries Coordinator Karla Jay, Coordinator of North American and Caribbean Ministries Michael Sherman.
Stoking the Fire will be held on Pentecost weekend, May 22-24, at First Friends (Whitewater Monthly Meeting) in Richmond, Indiana. We will build the fire metaphors into meaningful spiritual formation and grounding—using kindling, spark, ignition material, and fuel to create a fire which can enliven us as we encourage one another in love.
