What Happens Here

We welcome you to share this hour of silent worship.

In the historic practice of the Religious Society of Friends, worshippers come together and sit down quietly, each waiting in the silence to know at first hand the presence of the living God and to have an immediate sense of divine leading. There is no prearranged program, outward sacrament, paid minister, or set prayer. All of us share in the responsibility to be open to the leading to speak, or to continue to wait in silence.

Meeting for Worship ends with the shaking of hands, begun by someone to whom this task has been assigned. Coming opportunities in the community life are announced, after which there is fellowship and conversation.

Please feel at ease. Bow your head if you wish, look around you if you wish. Focus your thoughts on a meditation theme, or listen for the heartbeat of the silence.

We are glad you came.
