We'd love to have you join us for worship. The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) is not a closed community but a group of seekers like you.

Meeting for Worship: 10am-11am, First Days (Sunday)
Fellowship: 11am-11:30am
After Meeting Program: 11:30-12:30

Penn Valley Friends Meeting is an "unprogrammed Meeting." The Quaker worshipping community has traditionally been called a Meeting for Worship. The worship is "unprogrammed" because there is no order of service and we have no pastor or minister. These are practices that follow from the convictions of those who founded the Relgious Society of Friends in the seventeenth century.

How do we center our lives in the awareness of God the Spirit, so that all things may take their rightful places?

When we exist fully in the present moment, we are likely to act out of a centered place. For many of us, this sense of awareness is the awareness of the Spirit. However, our culture values multitasking, and it takes focus to remember the follow the adage that Zen is doing one thing at a time.

Even when we do stay aware, we can have a hard time knowing if our will comes from God or from our own ego.
