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. There are no children's programs at present, though childcare can be provided. Directions and map:

Next social action worship sharing: Sunday, May 31st at 5PM on Zoom
Topic: Service

The Zoom link is below. After worship sharing, we’ll chat a bit. The goal is to share information and form supportive connections across OVYM, while maintaining a spirit-led focus on our social action.

Quotes:

1. I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy. -Rabindranath Tagore
2. Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. -Desmond Tutu
3. All other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy. -Mahatma Gandhi
4. Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time, and always start with the person nearest you. -Mother Teresa
5. The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. -Oscar Wilde

Queries:
1. How can we tell whether we are going to render service in a spirit of joy or resentment?
2. What small act of kindness did you give or receive that lives on in your memory?
3. Does starting with the person nearest you change your perspective on service?

Looking forward to connecting with one another in a way that serves us all in this time of political chaos!
Time: This is a recurring meeting
