Meeting for Worship: Putting aside our daily concerns, we center on being open to Divine guidance; anyone who is moved by the Spirit may offer vocal ministry. Our worship may include spoken messages, or Friends may wait in expectant silence for most or even all of the Meeting. Entering Meeting for Worship: If you arrive after Meeting has started, please wait until the person has finished speaking before taking a seat. Closing Worship: Guests are invited to introduce themselves at the rise (close) of Meeting, to sign our guest book or newcomer's card. We would like to get to know you and invite questions and conversation.

*Early Meeting for Worship: Some Friends prefer to worship at 8:30 on Sunday mornings. This Meeting tends to be especially quiet, and is much smaller than the 11:15 Meeting. All are welcome. Religious Education: Friends refer to Sunday School as “First Day School,” and programs for children and adults are held at 9:45 a.m. Check our calendar on the website to see if there is an Adult program.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.
