Come worship with Friends in-person in the Meetinghouse and with others on Zoom.
At long last, we are worshiping again in-person.
Our local Roanoke City Jail has a library and a librarian. Many of those held in the jail have not yet been tried (they’re on remand) but they may be held there for weeks or even months. Sue Williams is in contact with the jail’s librarian. The only reading materials currently available are those donated, usually used, whether paperback books or magazines.
A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER OF ROANOKE MONTHLY MEETING
Summer Edition 2023
Consider the lilies, how they grow:
they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you,
even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these...
your Father knows that you need these things.
But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
