Does an hour of peace and quiet from time to time feel like something you could use?

Are you open to the possibility of connecting with something deeper than you can during the daily grind?

Would you like to feel like you're doing something to help change the world?

Quakers—the same ones who have have been quietly worshiping, and quietly working toward peace for hundreds of years—are active right here in New Paltz.

Join us any first day (Sunday) at 10:30 a.m. for our silent meeting for worship and, if you'd like, for fellowing and food afterward.

💙Four Meetings Working Together. One Clear, Strong Voice.
As our world grows more unsettled, Quaker Friends have a vital message to share.

On Sunday, February 1, the Meetings of Bulls Head–Oswego, Cornwall, New Paltz, and Poughkeepsie, will come together for a unique opportunity to discern how we can better work as ONE.

Through joint outreach, social media, and active witnessing across the Hudson Valley, we will raise awareness of our presence and principles.

This gathering is a time to listen together, discern together, and strengthen our collective voice.

🕊 We need you there!

Do you carry a concern about those who are incarcerated? Quakers with this leading might choose to write letters with individuals, or even volunteer to worship inside. We have a very active prison program, and being a "convinced friend" is not a requirement. Reach out if led.

We very much enjoyed distributing fresh, free food today! This was the first time we participated in this program; weekly distributions on the fifth Sunday of a calendar month will be under the care of our meeting.

We are grateful to the owners of Shapers for allowing us to use their parking area for this outdoor distribution. We are also grateful to the many people who donated food themselves, or for organizations.

If you missed getting free, fresh food today, know that what remained was brought to the free food fridge in front of village hall at 25 Plattekill Avenue. The next distribution will be one week from today at the Reformed Church on Huguenot Street, 1-3 p.m.

We believe that all humans have humanity.

In “The Interview,” directed by Jon Miller and Zach Russo, formerly incarcerated people describe what it’s like trying to convince a group of strangers that they are more than the worst thing they ever did.The story behind the film.
