Raleigh Friends Meeting is open for in-person Sunday Meeting for Worship at 10:00am.  We continue to also offer Meeting for Worship via Zoom. Please contact friends@raleighquakers.org for details.

Precautions to attend in person Meeting for Worship include:

  • Must be fully vaccinated
  • Mask wearing during Meeting for Worship is optional.  Please use our virtual Zoom option if you are not feeling well.
  • Social distancing is recommended
  • Anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 MUST notify one of the Meeting Clerks or Members of Ministry and Counsel asap, so we can notify our community (confidentiality will be respected).

Welcome!

The Raleigh Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) invites and welcomes all Seekers of the Truth to full participation in our Society, whatever their racial identity, religious affiliation, age, socio-economic status, nationality, ethnic background, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or mental/physical ability.  We aspire to affirm "that of God" in every person and to trust Divine Guidance to lead us, as individuals and as a faith community, to live the testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.

Raleigh Friends Meeting is an unpastored community and worships in the “unprogrammed” Quaker manner.  We meet in silent waiting upon the Spirit.  Currently we are affiliated with Piedmont Friends Yearly Meeting, and we also refer to Faith & Practice of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting for models of worship, organization and support for members’ life passages.  We are affiliated with Friends General Conference through our association with Piedmont Friends Fellowship and Yearly Meeting.

Won’t you join us for worship at 10:00 am this Sunday? Our meeting library's online catalog is found at http://www.librarything.com/profile/RaleighFriends.

Raleigh Friends Meeting is closing the building as of 5pm/Saturday/March 14, 2020

After a specially called emergency meeting for business (via Zoom) this evening, and through our discernment process, we have come to the painful decision to close the Meetinghouse until further notice due to the Covid-19/Corona Virus outbreak.  This is not a decision we made lightly.  The RFM community is important to all of us collectively and each of us individually.  We must err on the side of caution and vigilance to protect our each other and our community.
