Tacoma Friends (Quakers), an unprogrammed meeting of the Religious Society of Friends and member of North Pacific Yearly Meeting, is a community of seekers. Join us for your spiritual journey into the oneness of faith, community, and the Earth.

Meeting for Worship begins every Sunday at 10 am. We offer blended meetings (in person and via Zoom) every week except for the first Sunday of the month, which is in-person only. Zoom sessions open around 9:45 am and remain open until after the Second Hour activity. Between Worship and Second Hour we have an informal time for snacks and visiting together.

Advices and Queries for April 12, 2026

Source: NPYM Faith and Practice, pages 66 and 67.
Our Witness grows out of our testimony of Integrity, and our testimony of Integrity, in turn, is the challenge of keeping our lives congruent with the Light (or Spirit). We are glad to tell in words as well as deeds about the Truth and Faith that are in us…We seek fellowship with others of our own faith and with all people, realizing the oneness of humanity under God. We remain open to new leadings of Spirit, while taking care not to outrun our Guide. We follow the witness that we are called to, with an understanding that no one person can carry the weight of the whole world. While we seek affinity with others who share the same concerns, we also seek opportunities to find common ground with those what have differing points of view.

Queries:
How do our lives testify to our convictions as Friends?
How do we speak Truth tenderly, so that others may hear it?
What ways do we find to cooperate with people and groups with whom we share beliefs and concerns?
Do we listen with love and respect to those with whom we disagree?

During worship, children are invited to attend First Day School to explore God’s Love through free play, imagination, song, stories, art, and more. The theme for April is Stewardship.

April 12th Second Hour – Meeting for Business

This Week Second Hour is Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business.  Our decision-making process invites us to seek the unity that comes from being collectively led as Spirit speaks to “that of God” in each person. Some items on the agenda include a newly minted Peace Statement offered by the Peace and Social Justice Committee and decisions about which organizations to support through the TFM Outreach budget. All voices are important and welcome during this time of discussion and discernment.
