Most Sundays we get together from 9:30-10:15 AM for a period of discussion and worship-sharing we call Quaker Explorations. Some of our Quaker Explorations sessions are specifically aimed at introducing newcomers to Quaker practices and beliefs, while others allow us to share personal interests or passions such as poetry. The Quaker Explorations schedule through October 29, 2023 appears below.
