Brooklyn Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends

01/25/2023

Did you know that there used to be two Quaker meetinghouses in Brooklyn. Here is a photo from the Brooklyn Library, showing the Brooklyn Orthodox meetinghouse. When the "Hicksite" and "Orthodox" branches merged in the mid 20th C, Friends sold this building. It is currently the home of the Apostolic Faith Mission Church.

Meeting for Worship

Meeting for Worship is now in person and online.
9 AM Worship experimented with meeting in person this first day, and this may continue, but as a back-up, be prepared to meet online, (as the meeting house was locked the last time we tried to meet in person.)

Sunday 11 AM Worship takes place in two environments, in person in the meeting house and on Zoom.

Tuesday evening worship will remain on Zoom for the time being.

Attenders to in-person worship should wear a face mask and practice appropriate precautions. Social hour is not resuming at this time.

In-person worship will be separate from the Zoom worship on Sundays. We are not having a hybrid meeting. Because of this divided meeting, it is essential for all announcements to be sent to [email protected], so that they can be included in this email, which goes out weekly, generally on Sunday evenings and Thursday evenings.
