A very warm welcome and invitation

We welcome you to our web site and hope that you will join with us as we worship on 

 Sunday mornings at 10:00 am. 

Each Sunday (First Day) we come together seeking Divine guidance, strength and peace in our sharing a time of prayer and worship together. We are a diverse faith community who seek, with mutual love and respect, God’s will for us. Our Meetings for Worship are based on the principle of expectant waiting in silence for direct communication with God, with no pastor, music or order of service. Since the time when our meeting house was completed in 1814, it has been kept quite plain so that the worshiper will not be distracted from the main purpose of listening to God’s still small voice within each of us. Although the Meeting for Worship is based on silent prayer, all are free to speak their ministry as an outflow from God. Friends value messages that are simple, come from the heart, and are prompted by the Divine Spirit.

Our Meetings for Worship last about 45 minutes and are typically followed by a sharing of current joys and concerns. It is customary to gather afterwards for coffee or tea.

Please join us.

John Woolman (1720-1772)

There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however, pure and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms of religion nor excluded from any, where the heart stands in perfect sincerity. In whomsoever this takes root and grows, of what nation so ever, they become brethren.

If you've never attended a Meeting for Worship, we hope you will come worship with us.   

Many have found help in viewing the "introductory" videos to answer questions that might arise in expectation of a Quaker Meeting for Worship.   

Most Quaker meetings, at least in this part of country, are so-called "unprogrammed" meetings. This means that our meetings for worship are not led by a minister but are largely conducted in silence.  Typically, a Clerk or other Member of the Meeting will close worship with a simple "Good morning, friends" but otherwise the meeting may be completely silent. 

Members and attenders are always invited to speak out of the silence with a message about their spiritual journey, although messages are not responded to directly.

A message has been described as a pebble tossed into a pond.  The resulting ripples are received by others in the meeting and may contribute to their own spiritual journeys.
