If your child is interested in having a part in the play, but will not be at the fellowship for the weeks leading up to the play, please contact us so we can make sure there is a part for your child.

Lay Leader, Lisa Sporleder. Accompanist, Vera Alexander.

This Sunday: Peace is a value that permeates all Quaker teachings. Friends (Quakers) are challenged to be peace educators, to live the value of peace every day at work and at home. In order to reach these goals — and make “peace” more than an expedient slogan — Quakers must continually reinterpret and reevaluate themselves in a changing world. Charley Basham will talk about the Quaker Peace Testimony, an expression of that nonviolent faith and a tradition which goes back over 400 years. Speaker, Charley Basham. Lay Leader, Barbara Braley. Accompanist, Marsha Sousa.
