Outdoor Meeting for Worships are scheduled near the Gish House in Highland Park. This was to support those Friends who can’t worship through Zoom. Masks were required and social distancing observed. They are being scheduled one at a time. It’s possible they may be discontinued due to the cold weather.
A Quaker Reading Group has begun to meet monthly. Contact Mike Heller at our Meeting email through the contact information above to join.
Finally, Roanoke Quakers will hold its annual “Welcome/Welcome Back Celebration” on November 4 at 7 PM. The event is to welcome people interested in Quakers and welcome back people we haven't seen in a while. We are especially encouraging Friends to invite their friends who might be interested in Quakers. The Celebration will consist of worship for 15 minutes; three speakers who speak in turn about Friends beliefs, worship and service for 10 minutes each; and a question-and-answer period for 15 minutes. This year we will do it through Zoom.
