This morning Framingham Friends Meeting again gathered using Zoom. For those who might like to join us next week, we will continue to hold Meeting for Worship on Zoom. The Zoom meeting will be open starting at 9:30 as follows:
  • 9:30 to 10:00 conversation at the "Meetinghouse door"
  • 10:00 to 11:00 Meeting for Worship
  • 11:00 joys and concerns, announcements, and community conversation
A few tidbits on this morning's Meeting for Worship:
  • We received five messages.
  • We had 34 connections through Zoom.
  • A total of 50 people joined us, including 2 small children.

The First Day School Committee also held a separate virtual children's program. A few tidbits on this:

  • There were 8 Zoom connections.
  • Kristin counted 10 adults and 10 children.
Please let Care & Community know if you are aware of anyone in Meeting who is ill or if there are ways in which the Meeting community could provide support during this time.
Clerks who need to schedule a Zoom meeting for their Committee are asked to send requests to the Presiding Clerk, the Calendar Coordinator (Elin Calver), and to Melissa Foster who can update the website with announcements.
Finally, Friends, I would like to recognize how well the Meeting is doing in adapting to these trying circumstances. Today we had somewhat greater attendance than is typical when the Meetinghouse is open, and despite some challenges managed to hold a First Day School program for the children.
In the Light,
Morgan Wilson, Clerk
