Thinking of Visiting?

The Stillwater Friends Meeting is an unprogrammed meeting, which means that we worship in silence unless someone is moved to speak. If you are considering visiting, here is what you might expect.

  • Depending on the Sunday, we may meet at 9:45 am in the morning for discussion or business. Please see the schedule below or Events page to see what is planned on the day that you will visit. We will break for 15 minutes for conversation or coffee at 10:45.
  • At 11:00 am, we begin our meeting for worship. The children will attend the first ten minutes of worship with adults and then go to their own class. Please write if you have questions about child care of children's religious education.
  • Before we close our time together, the children will join the meeting and there will be an invitation to share any joys, concerns or final thoughts.
  • Someone from the meeting will thank everyone, then invite announcements from those present.
