On the first First Day of the month we gather for a potluck lunch at the rise of meeting. Join us!
Unprogrammed worship is silent worship. We enter the meeting room silently. Our first task when worship begins is to center down, to still the clamor of the world, to turn our attention to the inner voice.

The In-breaking of the Light
by Carol Ciscel
Quakers try to make decisions not simply by consensus but by something more mysterious and even mystical: discernment of the divine.

The Racial Justice Working Group has organized a group trip on November 1-2 to visit the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery. Those who are going are looking forward to sharing the experience with others at an upcoming Meeting for Learning. If you'd like to learn more, contact Susan.
This year at Pride our booth was an entrance into a small circle of chairs. Pride goers were invited to join us for a brief silent worship.
