Worship Sharing

Learning Together

Learning Together

"Worship Sharing focuses on a particular question and helps us to explore our own experience and share with each other more deeply than we would in normal conversation.  It seeks to draw us into sacred space, where we can take down our usual defenses, and encounter each other in "that which is eternal."" (Friends General Conference)

In January-February 2021, Worship Sharing will focus on the Adult Education selection, Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman (scroll down for details).


We follow Worship Sharing guidelines developed by Friends General Conference.  Click HERE to check out these guidelines!

adult education -APRIL - MAy

Adult Education 9 AM Sundays

The Spirit of the Quakers – Please join us on 2nd & 4th Sunday mornings from 9-10 AM in April-May as we read, discuss, and reflect on Geoffrey Durham's book, The Spirit of the Quakers. 

About the Book

Who are the Quakers, what do they believe, and what do they practice? The Religious Society of Friends—also known as Quakers-—believes that everyone can have a direct experience of God. Quakers express this in a unique form of worship that inspires them to work for change in themselves and in the world. In The Spirit of the Quakers, Geoffrey Durham, himself a Friend, explains Quakerism through quotations from writings that cover 350 years, from the beginnings of the movement to the present day.

Peace and equality are major themes in the book, but readers will also find thought-provoking passages on the importance of action for social change, the primacy of truth, the value of simplicity, the need for a sense of community, and much more. The quoted texts convey a powerful religious impulse, courage in the face of persecution, the warmth of human relationships, and dedicated perseverance in promoting just causes.  (Quote taken from:

https://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Quakers-Geoffrey-Durham/dp/0300167369)

Where to find the book!

The book is available to order in print and Kindle formats. Search for vendors on Google, one of which is Quaker Books:  https://quakerbooks.org/products/the-spirit-of-the-quakers-2932

Meeting Format

Don Sargent will guide Adult Education discussions in April & May on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 9:00 a.m. (the usual Adult Ed timeslot).    Zoom links are sent out on the listserv on Fridays.
