...and we're happy you're visiting. We hope you'll use these pages to access the
information you need about our monthly meeting and that you'll feel led to visit us or another Friends meetinghouse.
Some things to point out about Friends --
... our congregations
are called "monthly meetings" because, while we meet for worship weekly, we meet for business
monthly.
... 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. Though most of this custom
has fallen away, Sunday School is still commonly called "First Day School."
... we worship in 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.
