"For when I came into the silent assemblies of God's people, I felt a secret power among them which touched my heart; and as I gave way unto it, I found the evil weakening in me and the good raised up." Robert Barclay

 

 

 

THE QUAKERS

If you are wondering what God may be,
Looking for a purpose in life,
Craving company, or seeking solitude,
Come to our Meeting for Worship!
We shall not ask you to speak or sing,
We shall not ask you what you believe,
We shall simply offer you our friendship,
And a chance to sit quietly and think,
And perhaps someone will speak,
And perhaps someone will pray,
And perhaps you will find here
That which you are seeking…

We are not saints,
We are not cranks,
We are not different –
Except that we believe
That God’s light is in us all,
Waiting to be answered.
