Get Involved!
There are many ways for you to get involved in the life of the Meeting. Our Monthly Meeting functions by the joyful work done by its members and attenders. There are no paid clergy or staff. Different committees take on various responsibilities of the Meeting. Some are physical, such as the Property & House Committee. Others are pastoral, such as Care & Concern Committee and Worship & Ministry Committee. And some are witness, such as Peace & Social Concerns. And then there are the simple "get together and do something" gatherings, pulled together by the Hospitality Committee or an ad hoc group of people for a specific purpose.
Here is a list of our Meeting Committees or areas of service where there are opportunities to serve. Click on the name of the committee for a description of its activities and on the name of the clerk to request more information or an opportunity to talk.
If you would like to get involved in any of these areas, or if you have another question about getting more involved in the life of the Meeting, be sure to let us know by contacting the clerk of the committee or nominating committee, or by simply asking any member of the Meeting.
