Millville Friends Meeting
The First Meeting House, a Log building was constructed in 1795, then in 1847 a new Meeting House was built with brick. The Millville Friends Meeting is part of a larger collection of meeting houses from the surrounding geographical area, called the Upper Susquehanna Quarterly Meeting. This collective of meetings and meeting houses comprises Elklands, Huntington, Lewisburg, Millville, North Branch, Pennsdale, State College, Sterling, Towanda and Wellsboro.
Want to know more about Quakers? Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Faith & Practice includes advice on procedures within the faith, membership, current practice for conducting meeting business and numerous quotations from Friends on belief, worship, concerns, leadings, and testimonies.
Meeting Times
Meeting for Worship
Every Sunday at 10am
Our meetings for worship are now all held in-person at the Meetinghouse each Sunday at 10:00 am. Masking is recommended, but not required. Most First Days (Sunday) after meeting for worship, we host an activity, discussion, social time, or outdoors activities. Once a month, on the second First Day, we gather to attend to business before meeting for worship. We resume the business meeting around 11:10 if there is still unfinished business on the agenda. See schedule below for details. If you have questions about meeting for worship or any of our activities, please contact us, and we will follow up with an email.
We are planning to hold online virtual meeting for worship during the week. There will be one to two meetings per month. When the details are finalized, a schedule will be posted on this website. If you are interested in participating contact us by clicking this link.

What's New

December query to consider
How can we discern when it is time for something new to begin, or for something to end?

We invitechildren of all ages to join us for a time of fun with crafts and stories on December 18. We are planning a special activity for youth to be held during our worship period at 10:00 am. Adults are welcome to join the children in the fun following worship.

For the Meeting
What are we doing to invite persons to attend our meetings for worship,
to welcome them when they come,
to listen sensitively to their needs and hesitations and to encourage their continued attendance?
For the Individual
How do I share my spiritual life and experience with others?

- Have you experienced the empty nest; that is, have your children grown up and left home?
- What do you remember about it?
- Do you have thoughts or recollections about your own leaving-home experience?
Worship with us!
