We're the Quakers!
        ...and we're happy that you are visiting.  We hope you'll find this a useful tool in learning more about the Society of Friends [Quakers] and we hope that you'll feel led to visit a Friends meetinghouse in your neighborhood.
     Please use these pages to access the information you need about our monthly meeting and as a resource for broadening your faith.  Some things to point out about Friends --

      ... our congregations are refered to as "monthly meetings" because, while we meet for worship weekly, we meet for business on a monthly basis.

      ... a number of monthly meetings may gather together four times each year to worship, enjoy wider fellowship, as well as conduct business.  This is called a quarterly meeting.  We and six other monthly meetings in Salem, Gloucester, Cumberland, and Cape may Counties comprise Salem Quarterly meeting.

      ... Friends traditionally have refered to the days of the week by number.  Thus, Sunday was First Day.  Although most of this custom has fallen away, Sunday School is still commonly called "First Day School."

      ... we worship in the quiet expectancy that comes from knowing that if God has ever spoken to humanity, then the divine voice can be heard even today.  We listen for that  'still, small voice'  and hope to share it with fellow worshippers.
