Meeting for Learning is a time that we set aside to prayerfully explore the experiences of spirit and the dimensions of the inward landscape.
The first Sunday of the month is usually a meeting for healing for physical and spiritual wholeness.
The second Sunday of the month is usually a presentation of folk songs by a member who plays guitar. It sometimes includes singing along.
On the remaining Sundays we usually consider a passage from the writings of Friends or from the Bible.
Expectation is that our sessions will have many of the following characteristics:
A: While our explorations will have a particular focus, the ‘space’ in which we explore will be open.
B: Our journey will be hospitable with places to rest for nourishment.
C: We will listen with an ear to what we bring as individuals and what we learn as a group.
D: We will honor both the ‘little stories’ of those involved but also the ‘big stories’ of both faith and rooted practice.
E: Meeting for Learning will support solitude and sharing the many resources we bring as a faith community. An emphasis will be placed on personal and group reflection on life in the Spirit.
F: At various times we will be welcoming vocal participation and silent reflection. Music, drama, poetry, or film may play a part of our sessions.
