We have an Amazon wishlist with suggestions of things in the pantry could use. It’s called “ Friends of Seaville NJ Food Pantry” .  You can always leave donations in Friendship Hall as well. Boxed pasta, spaghetti sauce and children’s cereals are some of our most shopped for items. Condiments including mayonnaise and cooking oil are rare and special! We are ok with PB &J, and soup & plain Cheerios right now.

Check this out! Quakers being responsible for the atrocities of a past war. Cleaning US bombs that are still harming innocent people after US Gov. decided NOT to continue to clean up our mess. Quaker Power to do good in the World.

FCNL is deeply honored to announce that it will be the new fiscal sponsor for Legacies of War, the leading organization dedicated to addressing the ongoing harms caused by unexploded U.S. ordinance dropped in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

This exciting partnership brings together two organizations deeply united by a shared commitment to peace, human dignity, and the healing of war-torn communities.

“For over two decades, Legacies has transformed awareness into action, shifting U.S. policy and bringing healing to communities impacted by unexploded ordnance," said FCNL's General Secretary Bridget Moix left. "Together, we look forward to building a more peaceful, reconciled future.”

"Partnering with FCNL bridges our mission with a legendary legacy of Quaker peacebuilding—bringing us full circle as we work together to heal the enduring wounds of the American wars in Southeast Asia," said Sera Koulabdara, CEO of Legacies of War (right).

Last Sunday, this passage was read from Faith and Practice.
"At its best a Quaker Meeting is not a collection of individual seekers, but a community of faith, knit together by our common seeking of God. We are like spokes on a wheel: as we draw closer to our center in God, we also draw closer to each other... to come near to God is to change. God calls us into community because it is only in community that we learn God's transforming lessons of LOVE, SERVICE, COMPASSION and FORGIVENESS."

Life is meant to be lived from a Center, a divine Center…Life from the Center is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is simple. It is serene. It is amazing. It is triumphant. It is radiant. It takes no time, but it occupies all our time. And it makes our life programs new and overcoming. We need not get frantic. He is at the helm. And when our little day is done we lie down quietly in peace, for all is well.
