WORSHIP CENTERED DISCUSSION (Parlor / Zoom)
Forums occur on 1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays from September through June at 9:15am. On 4th Sundays we have two morning meetings for worship (at 9:30 and 11:00am) and on 5th Sundays we sing or have extended worship during the forum time.
Forums are informal devotional discussions, usually with a leader and about a particular topic. Forums are designed to help those who attend prepare for meeting for worship. All are welcome. Forums provide opportunities for new members, attenders, and visitors to learn more about our Meeting, what issues are of concern to the Meeting, and to get to know other individuals in the Meeting.
We will try to provide childcare only if it is requested in advance by emailing childcarerequest@fmcquaker.org.
