Friends of the Light

Welcome! Friends of the Light holds two worship services each Sunday.

“Unprogrammed” worship (where we gather in silence) begins at 9:00 in the morning and lasts approximately 45 minutes.

The "semi-programmed" Sunday Morning Meeting for Worship begins at 10:00 a.m.  The children join us for the first ten or fifteen minutes and then go to their own class.

We are part of The New Association of Friends.

What's New

At our recent living room conversation we looked at the plat maps showing where the original meetinghouses were - the school houses at Cedar Run and Long Lake - and photos of them - and plat maps of Pleasant Grove, and the Round Top schoolhouse where Levi Pennington taught, just outside Maple City.

We looked at the plat map that shows the Lone Pine schoolhouse, the predecessor of Traverse City Friends Meeting.

Between the notes of apprecation from our members and the heart-shaped pancakes it was a special brunch today.  Thank you to Jiim for the wonderful buckwheat pancakes, and to Chef Tom for the made to order omelettes, and Dave's grill full of bacon! Excellent!

The 1894 meetinghouse is finally ours!
This photograph must have been taken in the first decade of its life, since the former parsonage (missing from this picture) was built in 1903.
