At left, below, is a picture of our sign and the front of our Meeting House. This photo was taken on the first anniverary of the completing or our house, on June 16, 1991. At right is a picture of our Meeting Room. This is where we wait in expectant silence. We frequently sing before meeting (usually 9:30 AM to 9:50 AM) and on special occasions such as pot-luck dinners. You can learn more about our worship and practices on the WELCOME page and on the HISTORY page.

Spontaneous discussions can be expected at the "rise of Meeting" (after silent worship and messages spoken from the silence), when we break for coffee. The photo at left comes from one of our pot luck gatherings, often held on the fifth first-day (Sunday) of a month. More structured discussions take place during our optional "Second Hour" program, in which we often discuss the queries. The queries area series of questions for reflection; usually we discuss them on the fourth first-day of each month. Other second-hour discussions serve a roll as adult education and allowing time for "threshing" in cases where there is an important decision to be considered.
