“Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.” George Fox, founding Quaker (1656).
Our meetings for worship have no pastor or liturgy and are “unprogrammed.” Sitting together in the centering silence of meeting for worship, we seek a communion with the Divine and each other. We step back from the chattering world and open ourselves to the eternal Spirit that each of us can experience directly in our own way.
As we settle into silence, we wait expectantly for the Spirit to speak to us and through us. One who feels deeply moved may rise and deliver vocal ministry. On occasion, meeting for worship may be completely silent, and at other times may include Spirit-led messages, prayers, songs, or meditations.
All are welcome to our meetings for worship, and visiting children are welcome to our First Day School program. Visitors may wish to read our page on worship for additional information about our practices. Newcomers might also want to view “QuakerSpeak: What to Expect in Meeting for Worship.”
