All are invited to participate in an hour of silent worship with us in the manner of Friends. First-time visitors are especially welcome. For an introduction to the Quakers and the Quaker Gathering, please come a half hour earlier on Sunday.

Quakers meet on Sundays, in expectant silence, to wait for God. Quakers believe there is something of God in each person, and through silent worship one is offered not only a sense of the divine Presence and peace, but also continued guidance and revelation. Those present occasionally give a message to the Meeting, always leaving a space of silence between the messages so that everyone can return to silence. Sometimes the time is completely silent; but it is not an empty silence; on the contrary, the silence vibrates with the presence of God and with the love and unity among us.

This worship is at the center of all Quaker practice and action, and is the foundation of the Quaker testimonies for which Friends are best known: simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.
