Crossroads Friends Meeting

We shall gather for unprogrammed, waiting worship in the Name of Jesus Christ and in the manner of Friends on the dates and at the times listed, at our meetinghouse unless otherwise specified.  Visitors and new attenders are always welcome.  For those not familiar with unprogrammed worship, a small brochure is available (either at the meeting or on our website www.michiganquakers.org), offering general guidance and tips on “meeting etiquette.”  Additional materials on the Religious Society of Friends are also available at rise of meeting (and on the website).  Before rise of meeting on First Day [Sunday], the designated meeting closer reads aloud an Advice.  This is followed by framing silence before the handshake of fellowship which marks rise of meeting.

A time of fellowship follows meeting for worship.  On the second First Day [Sunday] of each month, following fellowship, we hold our meeting for business.  (Depending on other events, business meeting may be shifted to another week.)

We will study The Holy Bible, comparing the 1611 King James Version and the 1764 “Quaker Bible” translation by Anthony Purver, on First Day [Sunday] morning before Meeting for Worship.

 Advice 04: In your meetings for worship be earnestly concerned to enter reverently into communion with God. Come with minds and hearts prepared.  Yield yourselves up to the influence of the Divine Presence so that you may find the evil in you weakening and the good raised up.  God calls each one to the service of the meeting.  Be obedient and faithful, whether by word or silent prayerful waiting; and be ready to receive the message of others in a tender spirit.

Advice 05: Be on your guard, dear Friends, lest the love of pleasure take too strong a hold upon you.  Choose such recreations as are pure and healthful.  Let them be in harmony with your service to God and man; and in that service be ready at any time to lay them aside when called upon.

Advice 06: Endeavor to make your home an abiding place of joy and peace where the Presence of God is known and felt.  Seek to know an inward retirement, even amid the activities of daily life.  Make a quiet place in your daily life, wherein you may learn the full meaning of prayer, and the gladness of communion with your Heavenly Father.

 Advice 07: Avoid and discourage any kind of betting or gambling, as well as commercial speculation of a gambling character.  Remember how widespread are the temptations to grow rich at the expense of others, and how apparently harmless indulgence leads often by degrees to ruin and crime.
