Cleveland Friends Meeting, or more formally known as the Cleveland Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, is an unprogrammed
Quaker Meeting affiliated with Lake Erie Yearly Meeting. We worship together every week on Sunday at 11 am. We respect 'that of God in everyone' and welcome people of all faiths and none. Childcare can be provided every Sunday. In addition, First Day School is open whe
n in session to the children of all members, attenders, and visitors. We gather in worshipful silence, intending to open ourselves wholly to the Divine Spirit, which we believe is within and beyond each person. Our worship has no human leader and no planned program. Sometimes no words are spoken; sometimes a person is led to minister vocally. Each person present contributes to the depth of worship we reach as a group. The meeting is ended, usually after about an hour, by shaking of hands initiated by persons appointed to do so. Visitors are invited to join us for a social period following the rise of Meeting for Worship, and to sign the visitors' book.
