At the 1/23 meeting for worship, the clerk offered the following passage from George Fox for Friends' reflection:

"Keep in all modesty and plainness. For they that follow those things, that the world’s spirit invents daily, cannot be solid." 

A Friend shared a message about what plainness means in our complicated, tech-heavy world.
