We do not meet Sunday, it being the second Sunday of the month. See you all (who are coming or Zooming) next week.

07/11/2026

Friends, we have scheduled a religious education event at 3:00 pm, Sunday, July 12. This is for anyone to join in. Feel free to join us even if you have not been here lately or if you have not yet attended. Usually, we do not meet on a second Sunday of the month, but we are this time. We will be on Zoom only for this event. In the future we may have in person or hybrid education. We are asking you all to read a short essay which, along with queries, will be the focus of our time together. You can find the essay from 1947 by Thomas R Kelly, The Gathered Meeting, available online here: https://tractassociation.org/the-gathered-meeting/ One can purchase the Pendle Hill pamphlet here: https://pendlehill.org/product/the-gathered-meeting/

or meeting ID: 862 0731 8656 Passcode: 1unity

Here are the queries for our worship sharing reflection:
1. How do we share our spiritual journeys with each other, including our children?
2. Do you have experiences of mysticism, either observed in others or in oneself, and what might one say about that?

We will use the worship sharing format in our time together. Worship sharing is discussed below with and excerpt from the ILYM Faith and Practice. This material may be protected by copyright:

“There are a variety of ways to approach adult religious education programs. They may occur before or after meeting for worship or at another special prearranged time. Their purpose is to help members and attenders become more spiritually grounded, to provide the opportunity to share spiritual journeys, to reflect together on how our faith guides our daily lives, and to facilitate the spiritual growth of the meeting community. The program will therefore focus on Quaker faith, testimonies and practices; the Bible; writings by Quakers; and/or other matters that arise out of spiritual concerns. A session may consist of a discussion of a pamphlet or book, a presentation by one individual who has had a unique experience or has studied a particular topic, or the sharing of spiritual practices. Friends have found that such programs help them deepen their experience of the Divine and strengthen their connection with one another.
Adult religious education programs sometimes utilize a Quaker process known as “worship sharing.” Worship-sharing sessions typically begin with a Friend offering a query on a preselected topic. The assembled group enters a period of waiting worship, during which any Friend who feels led may respond worshipfully to the query. Other Friends are welcome to respond to the query, either in a prearranged order (such as going around in a circle) or as they feel led. Everyone present is expected to listen carefully, to refrain from responding directly to individual messages, and to allow time between speakers. The Friend who has offered the initial query takes responsibility for making sure that everyone present has an opportunity to speak if led to do so. Once sharing has come to an end, the group either proceeds to another query or concludes the worship-sharing session.”
