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.
Upcoming Forum Schedule:
Oct 4 – “How do we remain spiritually grounded when encountering violence?” We will explore the spiritual foundations of non-violence and reflect on our own experiences and challenges. The Adult Spiritual Education Group will facilitate this conversation as a follow-up to the September 20 forum on “Recognizing the Many Faces of Violence”. You are free to attend this forum even if you weren’t able to attend on September 20.
Oct 11 – “The Choices We Make” with Laura Wolfe. We will explore how our leadings/opportunities effect our life choices.
October 18 – “Preparing for Worship Outside Raytheon” with John Bach.
October 25 – No Forum. Since this is a fourth Sunday, there will be hybrid Meeting for Worship in the Meetinghouse and on Zoom at 9:30am, followed by on-site refreshments, followed by low-tech Meeting for Worship in the Meetinghouse at 11:00 am.
