"The time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship God in spirit and in truth. God is looking for anyone who will worship him that way. For God is spirit, so those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24


 Meeting for Worship

Worship is one of the many ways in which we respond to God. Friends find that worship is made deeper, more powerful, and more meaningful by using silence. We use a 'semi-programmed' manner of worship, with our hymns, readings, prayers and sermons given room, or framed in silence. The sermon is generally given by the pastor, guest, or an attender of the Meeting.

Central to our life of worship together is our period of open worship. During these moments we experience communion by partaking of Christ in expectant silence and in sharing leadings given by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit may move any one in worship to speak. Words that arise out of the reverent silence are often more helpful than any prepared message.

"The Quaker discovery and message has always been that God still lives and moves and guides,
in vivid immediacy, within the hearts of all people."
Thomas Kelly, in 'The Eternal Promise'


Meeting for Worship is held each Sunday morning at 10:30
in the Meetingroom.
All are welcome to join us in worship.
