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.

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

Advices and Queries for September 13th

The advices are from this year’s invitation to annual session, Welcoming Soul and Spirit.
“Spirit needs the contributions of each one of us now. In our many different places, we are called to be instruments of peace, love, justice, and compassion. Parker Palmer compared the soul to a shy wild animal, which only makes an appearance when it is safe to do so, hiding, watching, and waiting until then.”  We are called to “explore ways to invite our souls to make themselves known among us, so that we can become powerful vessels for bringing the ways of Spirit into the world.”  The aim is “to try out ways we can support each other in making space to hear and express our souls more boldly and authentically, receive divine guidance, and become strengthened to take our parts in the world, as members of a loving community. “

The queries were used in small worship groups.

• What is your heart longing for in this community?
• What pathways connect you with Spirit, and what are the blocks to finding those pathways?
• How have you experienced this community welcoming your soul?
