Upcoming Local Worshiping Communities Events

Come join us for a spirited singalong concert using our new songbook Rise Again. Bring a copy of the songbook if you have one. Copies will be available to buy or borrow at the concert. If you buy tickets in advance here, tickets will be on a "will call" basis with a list at the door. Admission at the door is for a suggested donation of $15 for adults and $5 for children, but if you are able to give more it will help make it possible for those with less means to attend. For more information, see their website. (https://www.riseupandsing.org/events/friends-meeting-washington)

Bethesda Friends Meeting invites Friends to a Memorial Meeting to honor the life and mourn the death of Patricia (Pat) Loring on Saturday, November 5th, at 1pm in our Meeting House. Pat was a member of our Meeting and a participant in the Shalem Spiritual Direction program. Throughout the 1990's, she wrote Listening Spirituality and led classes focused on Quaker faith and practices. We all in Baltimore Yearly Meeting benefited from her wisdom, insights, and loving consideration. For more information, contact Ron Akins (RPAkins@yahoo.com) or Peter Nielsen-Jones (pnielsenjones@gmail.com)

Patapsco Friends is 20 years old this month! So we are having a birthday party. Patapsco Friends Meeting began in an arts center in November 1996 with a small group of Friends from Sandy Spring Friends Meeting. There were nearly as many toddlers are adults! On November 27, 2016, Patapsco Friends celebrate with song, worship, and a sharing of memories. And cake, of course. The festivities begin at 9:30am. You're welcome to join us! Please remember to park on Calvin Avenue unless you have orthopedic issues that prevent your walking the hill to Hebron House. Details and directions to Patapsco Friends are on our website at patapscofriendsmeeting.com.
