EDEN ANEW / Friends Women Retreat Planning Meeting
Sunday, June 28th | Following the Morning Worship Gathering
Neighborhood Friends Church
This year, Neighborhood Friends Church will host the Friends Women’s Retreat in September 2026 at beautiful Quaker Ridge Camp & Conference Center in Woodland Park, Colorado.
Our women’s ministry, Eden Anew, invites all women to join us for this special planning meeting as we gather to pray, dream, and prepare for an incredible retreat together.
Whether you would like to help plan, serve, decorate, organize, pray, or simply learn more about the retreat, we would love for you to be part of the conversation.
Please bring a main dish to share as we enjoy a meal and fellowship together during the meeting.
Come help us create a meaningful weekend of worship, encouragement, friendship, and renewal for women across Rocky Mountain Yearly Meeting.
Together, let’s prepare a place where women can encounter Jesus, build community, and be refreshed.
FX Camp 2026 — “Outfitted”
July 6–11, 2026
Quaker Ridge Camp & Conference Center | Woodland Park, CO
Junior, Middle School, and High School Camps will all take place the same week with a shared theme:
Theme: OUTFITTED | 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (NLT)
Since 1949, summer camps at Quaker Ridge have helped students encounter Jesus, build lifelong friendships, and experience unforgettable adventures in the Colorado mountains.
FX Camp is designed to provide youth with:
-
Adventure-filled outdoor experiences
-
Activities like hiking, games, archery, and more
-
Positive friendships and community
-
Caring Christian counselors and leaders
-
Biblical teaching and worship centered on Christ
Each age-specific camp will explore what it means to be spiritually “outfitted” and equipped by God for every good work.
Whether your student is entering junior camp for the first time or returning as a high school camper, FX Camp is a life-shaping week they won’t want to miss.

MARCH 2026 GIVING REPORT
Financial Summary — March 2026
We are grateful for God’s continued provision and the faithful generosity of our church family.
Income (March 2026)
Total Income: $15,927.03
Expenses (March 2026)
Total Expenses: $20,762.37
Net for March 2026
Expenses over Income: $(4,835.34)
This month reflects higher expenses than income. We remain committed to wise stewardship and trust God’s continued provision as we move forward together.
What This Means for Us
March was a full and meaningful month of ministry at Neighborhood Friends Church, with faithful giving totaling just under $16,000. At the same time, our expenses exceeded income, resulting in a shortfall of $4,835.
This isn’t cause for alarm—it’s an invitation.
As we move beyond the Easter season, we’re reminded that God is always at work—bringing new life, renewing hearts, and drawing people in. This is a moment to stay engaged, to give faithfully, and to continue building what God is doing among us.
Like any healthy church family, we pay attention to where we are and move forward together—with wisdom, trust, and shared responsibility—believing that God will provide as we walk forward in faith.
How You Can Pray
- Pray for continued faithfulness and unity as we walk forward together
- Pray for wisdom for our leadership as we steward resources well
- Pray that God would continue to provide and guide our church in this season
- Pray that everything we do would remain centered on Jesus and His mission
How You Can Participate
- Give faithfully – Your generosity fuels ministry, supports leadership, and keeps our church moving forward
- Take a next step – Whether through serving, giving, or simply staying engaged, your presence matters
- Stay encouraged – God has been faithful to NFC, and we trust He will continue to lead us forward

NKIDS Ministry
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each Sunday, your child will learn similar concepts to what is being taught in our adult teaching. Our goal is to bring the message of Jesus to our kids at a level they can grasp and grow in. The lessons are fun and are taught by committed volunteers who serve Jesus by serving you and your children. We believe your children will love their time in NKids Church each Sunday and will beg you to bring them back!
LEARNING AT THEIR LEVEL
We believe that the gospel is for all ages, and that’s why we are so passionate about teaching kids how the story of Jesus is woven throughout the Bible and helping them understand at their level! In NKids, our Sunday experiences are filled with gospel-centered lessons, engaging times of worship, and fun activities that help them relate and apply the story in their lives.
FAMILY CONNECTION
The primary pastors of your kids’ faith aren’t the NKids volunteers—it’s you! Our goal in NKids is to resource and support families so that the rest of your week can be filled with conversations centered on Jesus and you can feel equipped to disciple your family to be deeply rooted in their faith and excited about Jesus!
BAPTISM & CHILD DEDICATION
Everyone at Neighborhood Friends has a next step in their spiritual journey, and for our NKids, here are two that God could be calling them to:
-
Baptism:
If your child has made a decision to follow Christ, begin a conversation about baptism with one of our NKids team members.
-
Child Dedication:
If you are interested in having your child dedicated, keep an eye out for our next Child Dedication service! In the meantime, fill out the sign up form below to get on the list for our next dedication gathering.
