We gather in silence in the presence of God. In the silence we may worship and listen to the voice of the Spirit. Out of the silence messages from God may also come to us in the spoken word or prayer.
Our Meetings for Worship are open to all. We invite you to come.
Learn about Quaker spiritual formation and join a seekers group: Sunday, 18 December
Would you like the chance to talk about your spiritual journey with a supportive group of Friends? The Spiritual Formation program helps organize groups of 4 to 6 people who get together regularly to share joys and sorrows, talk about spiritual explorations, share a meal together, and maybe discuss a book they have chosen to read. As of this fall, we have two ongoing spiritual formation groups, and another hoping to begin meeting soon. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know other people in the Meeting on a deep and nurturing level. Is this something you would like to be part of?
On Sunday, 18 December we will be getting together after the common meal, from about 1 to 2:30, to talk about the spiritual formation program, answer questions, think about possibilities, and hopefully get another group or two organized. In the past, we’ve always launched the program in September, but with the crush of events this fall, we decided to try for a January start-up. If you have any questions, please contact Deborah Haines, Carie Rothenbacher, or John Carle. We’d love to have you join us!
