Inland Valley Friends Meeting

home

WELCOME!

Friends believe in peace, community, simplicity, equality, and that of God in every person.

"Friends assemble in the silence without prearranged program. Each tries to still the inward clamor of personal anxieties and ambitions, listening for the voice of the Inner Guide, endeavoring to be faithful to its instruction." Taken from Faith and Practice published by Pacific Yearly Meeting in 2001, page 26.

Inland Valley Friends Meeting is un-programmed, and our meetings for worship last an hour. Children may join us for a portion of this hour and then have the opportunity to participate in the Children's Program for the remainder.

During silent worship anyone who is moved to share a message may do so. Ideally, these messages are framed by silence and deepen the awareness of the spiritual among those present.

Meeting closes with the joining of hands. It is then our custom to introduce ourselves and make brief announcements. While there may be some who quietly depart, reflecting still on the experience of the Meeting, other Friends linger to socialize. We invite all to share in this important part of our religious fellowship.
