Vassalboro Friends Meeting

Welcome!

Welcome to the online home of the Vassalboro Friends Meeting, located at 48 South Stanley Hill Road in Vassalboro, ME, 04989.

Vassalboro Friends Meeting is an unprogrammed Quaker (Friends) Meeting located in the village of East Vassalboro, ME. The brick Meetinghouse in East Vassalboro was built in 1831, and was actually the second Meeting to be established in Vassalboro — the first having been built in 1734 in the Riverside area of the town.

Services begin each Sunday with hymn singing at 9:45 AM, followed by an hour of unprogrammed worship from 10:00 to 11:00.

With the emergence of the delta variant of the COVID-19 virus, effective July 30, 2021 for the protection of all we have the following guidelines:

  1. VFM recommends that until further notice, all individuals (regardless of their vaccination status) should wear facial coverings while inside the Meetinghouse.

  2. Since singing is a high-risk activity, VFM will refrain from singing at this time.

  3. Pending further discussion, VFM still discourages handshaking.
