Frederick Friends Meeting follows a practice, common to many meetings, of contemplating a different set of queries each month. Queries are questions used among Quakers to uncover how our faith is being lived out, both individually and as a community.

Queries for August 2016: Education and Spiritual Development

• Do I strive to develop my physical, emotional, and mental capacities toward reaching my Divinely given potential?
• Do I make time for meditation, prayer, and worship?
• What efforts are we making to be better acquainted with Quaker faith and practices and the beliefs of other faiths?
• How do we prepare ourselves and our children to play active roles in a changing world?

To learn more about queries and how Friends use them in the practice of their faith, please see Baltimore Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice, 1988 edition.
