Schedule of Meetings for Worship

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.

On Fourth Days (Wednesdays) we hold a shorter Meeting for Worship preceded by Faith Study: William Penn’s No Cross, No Crown.

Advice 11: In view of the evils arising from the use of tobacco and intoxicating drinks, we urge all to abstain from using them, from offering them to others, and from having any part in their production, manufacture, or sale. Do not let claims of “good fellowship” or the fear of seeming peculiar prevent you from standing by principles which you have conscientiously adopted.

Advice 12: Members are affectionately reminded of the importance of keeping correct and clear accounts pertaining to all outward affairs. It is important to make wills, or revisions of them, while still in health of mind and body, and free from any feeling of resentment.
