Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business 

On the Third Sunday, members and attenders are encouraged to attend our meeting for business to participate in presentations, discussions and decisions about our meeting’s management, pastoral care, membership, property and social concerns. Each month, the business meeting agenda is sent in advance.  If you have a concern that you would like addressed, you may work with an appropriate committee or contact the Clerk of Meeting.
