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, October 11, 2026, offered by Carolyn Laskowski

Tacoma Friends have the practice of offering advices and queries the second Sunday of each month. Advices convey wisdom gathered from the inward experience of Friends trying to live faithfully in the Light. Queries challenge us to turn inward and nurture faithfulness as a foundation for every thought and action.

Paraphrased from NPYM Faith and Practice, pages 63 and 64. Sharing on Integrity from Philip Gulley, a Quaker writer/minister is quoted as follows:

“The search for Truth begins with the seeker looking to understand our motives and priorities, accepting nothing less than the truth about ourselves, especially when the light of introspection is painful and we don’t like what we find. Acknowledging our need for growth is difficult. Changing ourselves is a solid first step in the life of integrity.” Philip Gulley 2014

Query: How do we take care that our spiritual growth is not sacrificed to comfort, busyness, or greed?

October 11th Second Hour – Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business

Quaker business meetings are an opportunity to experience deep listening and spirit led discernment.  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. All are welcome to join.
