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 January 2017: Community and Family Life

• Are love and harmony within the Meeting community fostered by a spirit of open sharing?
• What helps our Meeting build trust of one another?
• How do our conflicts have the potential to enrich the life of our community?
• How does the Meeting support families of all kinds in their attempts to improve communication, family life, and the rearing of children in an atmosphere of love?

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.
