About our Quaker Meeting
Our Meeting is quite small, and friendly (also Friendly). We meet at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings at Andrews House, on the corner of Franklin and Winter streets in Delaware Ohio. We usually have a potluck on the second Sunday of the month after Meeting. Meeting for Business is right after Meeting for Worship on the first Sunday of the month.
We have a library cupboard with books for anyone interested and shorter printed pamphlets we will be glad to five you.
Our Meeting follows the custom of gathering in silence, and if someone is moved to speak, they do so. Our Meeting is most often quiet, but I experience a deep sense of the Spirit in that silence. We have co-clerks to keep track of business matters and a treasurer who kindly takes care of financial matters, and I am the contact person; we generally share responsibilities for the care of the Meeting. We do not have a minister, Quakers believing that all persons are capable of ministry. Other branches of Quakerism have ministers or pastors.
Please come to visit. We'd love to meet you. We generally meet for about an hour, and visit while we are gathering. People in our meeting come from Delaware county as well as Gambier, Westerville and Columbus, and we are a small group as meetings go.
I would be glad for you to call if you have other questions, or need additional information to find us. My phone is 740-362-8921.
Regards,
Marianne Derr
