Quaker Faith & Play

Borrowed from the Episcopal practice of Godly Play, Faith & Play, of uniquely Quaker stories, celebrates its 20th anniversary Sunday, Sept. 21 from 4-6 pm. Cincinnati Friends Meeting will serve as a local hub for the hybrid, live and online, celebration. Exciting new stories will be released, including an online telling of a story about Quaker Civil Rights Activist Bayard Rustin. Ann will lead a “shareshop,” an intergenerational worship,” live at the meetinghouse. Fellowship and refreshments will follow. More information and to register, go to cincinnatifriends.org/news/announcements

Monday Morning Hiking Group

The Monday Hiking Group meets to hike every Monday morning at 9:30 AM. After hiking the group convenes at a local coffee shop. They hike rain or shine! Please feel free to join them, whether you have hiked with us previously, or this is your first time. Contact the office at office@cincinnatifriends.org to be connected to coordinator Beth Brubacher or Linda Daigle to receive more information.

Cincinnati Friends Meeting is a semi-programmed Quaker meeting, which means that we have a pastor who gives a brief message at the beginning of the service. The rest of the hour together is spent in silent, open worship as we listen to what the still, small voice of God might say to us. Sometimes others might speak out of the silence, or request a hymn. Through such shared ministry we grow together in Spirit and in community.

We are an Open and Affirming congregation, and a Solidarity Congregation in relationship with the Sanctuary Movement. By tradition we are Christian, but we recognize that the world is interdependent, composed of many cultures and faith traditions. We seek to grow together spiritually and learn from one another in peace. Respecting our differences, we seek a more compassionate and loving world. We welcome everyone interested in our way of worship and the Quaker testimonies: simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality.
