Celebrating a Life
When a member or friend of our Meeting passes, we gather for a Memorial Meeting to honor their life. Ministry & Counsel works with family members to plan these gatherings, which may be held at the Meetinghouse or another location.
Memorial Meetings follow the pattern of our worship—we sit together in silence, and anyone may speak to share a memory, story, funny recollection, or reflection that celebrates the person's life. Both silence and spoken words are forms of participation in this collective remembrance.
We preserve programs and minutes from memorial services held in our Meeting's care. Access Memorial Archives here.
Pastoral Care
In Quaker tradition, we care for one another as a community—there is no single pastor. Our Ministry & Counsel Committee helps identify when someone needs support and coordinates care during times of illness, loss, major life decisions, or other challenges. The committee also provides training to help all of us support each other well.
Donate
We welcome donations to support our Meeting's spiritual life, community programs, and service to the wider world.
