Oak Park Friends Meeting
We welcome you to experience Oak Park Friends Meeting.
We gather in worshipful silence with no planned program starting at 10:00am. Sometimes no words are spoken; sometimes a person is led to minister vocally. The meeting ends usually around 11:00am by shaking of hands initiated by our Clerk.
Children are always welcome at Oak Park Friends Meeting. Children stay with the worship circle if developmentally able; We provide child-friendly materials for quiet play.
