 First Monthly Meeting records dated, Ninth Month, 1805 Present building erected in 1872 Meeting for Worship held every First Day morning at 10:30 Welcome: May we make some suggestions to help you worship with us? A Friends Meeting is based on silence, but it is a silence of waiting; of expectancy. It is a gathering without human direction or supervision. When you lift your heart to God you are contributing to the common worship as well as to your own renewal. You may be disturbed by the strangeness of the silence, by distraction outside, or by your own roving thoughts. Do not worry about this but return again and again to the still center of your being where God can be found. Try if only for an instant, to be quiet in body, mind and soul. It is our desire that our meeting be under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. There is no designated minister to speak or pray at an appointed time, for any are free to speak or pray when moved by the spirit of God. Each one present shares the responsibility for worship and can share in its blessings. Such a meeting is always a high venture in Faith and it is to such a venture that we invite you in this hour. |
