Poughkeepsie Quakers Friends Meeting
Open to ALL spiritual seekers.
“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.” – Poughkeepsie Quakers
Join Poughkeepsie Quakers for a
Quaker Friends Meeting for Worship
every
Sunday at 10am at Oakwood Friends School or
online via Zoom.
Not religious? Just spiritual? Just curious? Member of another faith community? Perfect!
There is
always a place for you next to Friends and seekers at Quaker Meeting.
Whether you’re curious about the Quaker religion today, exploring Quaker faith and practice, or looking for a Quaker meeting house near you, you are welcome here.
First Day (Sunday School) and childcare are available.
Did you know that Quaker congregations, the Religious Society of Friends, have gathered throughout the Hudson Valley of New York for over 300 years? We worship in silent, expectant waiting as we come together in stillness to make room for the voice of Spirit.
We sit in silence, and wait expectantly, with an open heart, for a spoken message or prayer or ministry that may arise. From time to time someone may speak briefly, but sometimes the entire hour may pass without a word being spoken.
There is no clergy, hierarchy, set ritualized speech and behavior, written creed or prepared messages so as not to crowd out what is usually such a still and small voice within — the inward grace that connects us to the Spirit and Creator of all around us.
JOIN US
ALL are welcome with Quaker Friends.
Poughkeepsie Quaker Meetings for Worship are open to everyone. Just bring an open heart and a desire to experience the Light within or “that of God in everyone” through silent worship with Quaker Friends.
Come one, come all, welcome home.
