Quakers share a common faith, based on experience, that every human being can commune with God directly, without the need for any mediating persons or rituals, and that the worshiping community can commune directly with God, as well.
Next Sessions
Fall Sessions will take place online via Zoom. More information will be posted here as details are confirmed.
All Friends are invited to attend Summer Sessions. At Summer Sessions Friends gather together and create a community where we can worship, play, and work with each other. It will again be hybrid, with many in-person events available for participation via Zoom. Please note that the date, July 12-18, is earlier in the month than in the past, and is right after Friends General Conference’s Gathering in Burlington, VT.
