Piedmont Friends Fellowship's  Annual Meeting will meet on March 14-16 at the New Garden Meeting in Greensboro, NC

Piedmont Friends Fellowship (PFF) is a collective of Friends (Quaker) Meetings and Worship Groups in North Carolina and surrounding areas that gathers for worship, fellowship, and sharing of messages as illuminated by the Inward Light in the spirit of Friends' quarterly meetings. The organization was founded in 1968 out of a need for meetings to come together and to address issues and concerns in a wider Quaker forum. Annually, PFF develops one or two workshops, a weekend family retreat, and through its youth committee, retreats for middle and high-school age young Friends. At all of these gatherings, the underlying goal is to nurture the spirit within each of us as we share with new and old Friends.  PFF is currently organizing a Yearly Meeting, which Raleigh Friends is a founding member meeting.
