What's New
On Sunday, October 27, six West Newton Friends ate lunch at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art with educator and museum volunteer Sharon Mills. Sharon then led the group on a tour of the second floor to help us get acquainted with the Native Americans who inhabited the land around Indianapolis.
As part of our study of Quakers and Native American relations, Shane Fox, treasurer and drum keeper of the Miami Nation of Indiana, will be our guest during Sunday School on November 3, 2019. Shane will share with us about the history of the Miami (on whose tribal land our meetinghouse sits) and about Miami life in Indiana today. There will also be a time of questions and answers.
All are welcome to this event.
As part of our study on Quaker and Native American relations, we'll be taking a field trip to the Eiteljog Museum on October 27. We'll have lunch there and then Susan Mills, a docent, will give us a private tour. Details to follow!

A Ban on Assault Style Rifles and High Capacity Magazines
On July 21 during Meeting for Learning we discussed ways that we might be of practical assistance to those in need on our southern border. By practical assistance we had in mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 25 -- "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me." Toward that end, Ministry and Counsel had asked me to be touch with Friends Meetings that are providing or working with groups to provide such assistance.
