Meeting for Worship

Sundays at 11:00 AM and on Wednesdays at noon. On some Sundays there is singing before Worship, from 9:30 - 10:45. All are welcome, in tune or otherwise.



Meeting for Business








Every second Sunday after a light lunch after rise of Meeting. The length of the Business Meeting varies but it usually lasts about 1- 1/4 hours.

Our Meeting has undertaken an exploration of our purpose and resources. In recent months in Meeting for Business, non-essential business has been deferred so that we may begin the task of addressing the larger questions posed by our changing planet: Who are we called to be? How might we help midwife the transitions that are coming?

It is critical that we bring the whole spectrum of our voices to these questions. Please attend and encourage other Friends to attend.

First Day School is held on Second and Fourth Sundays, beginning at 10:45, September through mid-June. See the First Day School page for more detailed information. On the First, Third, and Fifth Sundays, the children attend Meeting for Worship from 11 AM to 11:15 AM and then move to the Bassett House for group activities as part of a multi-age childcare program.

Creative Quest












Creative Quest Summer Arts Camp offers a wide variety of arts experience for people ages 7 and up. Exploring with clay, paper, paint and other materials, participants have fun trying out their own creative ideas in a supportive atmosphere. Visual and tactile modes of perception are stimulated as participants use the elements of texture, shape, line, form and color to express themselves on surfaces as well as in three dimensions. Materials we use every day, such as all forms of paper, plastic and metal will be recycled and used in imaginative and creative ways. All are welcome.
