Quaker Quest is coming to London Grove and West Grove Meetings
What is Quaker Quest?
Simply put, Quaker Quest is an outreach program designed to appeal to people who are curious about Quakers, or who are seeking a spiritual community. The program features three speakers, small group discussion, a brief introduction to the Religious Society of Friends and our testimonies, an abbreviated meeting for worship, and plenty of time for questions, conversation, and fellowship.
As one visitor put it, “I have never felt so accepted and free to be myself with a group of people I barely know, and I never knew there was a religion that tolerated such a diversity of thought and belief. I can’t wait to come back next week and hear what the other speakers have to say!”
But more than an outreach program, Quaker Quest is also an in-reach program. Meeting members who participate in Quaker Quest sessions learn about the spiritual lives of their fellow meeting members in a deeper and more sacred manner than casual conversations over coffee on Sunday. Listening to our fellow members sharing their faith during a Quaker Quest session builds a sense of community that is inspiring, and has been revitalizing to our meetings.

Quakers and Family: Sunday, February 26, 2012, 2:00 to 4:00 pm at London Grove Friends Meeting
Quakers and Violence: Sunday, March 4, 2012, 2:00 to 4:00 pm at London Grove Friends Meeting
