Poughkeepsie Friends gather after Meeting for Worship at Oakwood Friends School

All are welcome here.

Poughkeepsie Quaker Meetings for Worship are open to everyone. Bring an open heart and a desire to worship with Quaker Friends who wait quietly to experience the Light within or “that of God in everyone.”

First Day (Sunday) school and pre-school childcare available.

In silent worship, may we embrace and be embraced by the living eternal Spirit as we listen in stillness for messages for ourselves, and for others.

Come one, come all, welcome home!

What is
Quakerism?

What is meeting
for worship?

Sit Silently

With an awareness of the Divine Spirit, usually for one hour.

Listen Expectantly

To experience the Divine within yourself, within others and present among us.

Greet Warmly

When worship ends, exchange a warm hello in fellowship with friends around you before heading out into the day.
