Meeting Announcements
Sunday Feb 12, 10:30 am, Hybrid Worship - with Friends in-person in the Meetinghouse at 505 Day Avenue and others on Zoom. At long last, we are worshiping again in-person. If you are attending in-person, please bring a mask and try to arrive a little bit early to get settled. Please enter the Worship Room with respectful silence, as some Friends wish to be in worship early. Thanks to all for being patient. We are still learning the technology and making adjustments.
Outdoor Quaker Worship Saturdays at 10:30 am: All are welcome to outdoor worship each Saturday at Highland Park, beside the Alexander-Gish House parking lot on Walnut Avenue SW just off Fifth Street. Please bring a chair if you have one.
