Walking in the World as a Friend

Join us this fall for a series of 4 sessions (once a month) about the Religious Society of Friends. "Walking in the World as a Friend” by Nadine Hoover will guide our discussions. We will follow how Quaker practices weave together the individual, Quaker community and Spirit, creating a unique, vital and transformative dynamic.

Our third gathering, on November 16, 2025–after worship- will explore Experiments with the Living Spirit.

 Quakers experience the Living Spirit that speaks to our human condition in easy and hard times, in every person, every moment, everywhere. Quakers experiment with allowing the Spirit to shape and guide our daily lives through our human faculties of love, conscience, and discernment.

The PDF of the entire book can be viewed at the following link:

The sessions will be held at 12:30--1:30 p.m. on the third Sundays of the month beginning this fall (Sept. 21, Oct. 19, Nov. 16, and Dec. 21). Save the dates!

Healing and Worship Group

A group of F/friends have been gathering in the Light on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to hold particular concerns or people; as well as to ground ourselves in the energy and love that we find in these opportunities. Please join us if you are led; we gather at 8:30 a.m. and end at 9:00 a.m on Zoom. You are also welcome to join late or leave early, if your schedule requires it. This is a wonderful way to start the day. To join, use this link.
