The holidays can be a stressful time. This Quaker service provides an opportunity to "leave behind the problems of home and office, of business and duty, of worry and perplexity." Join Neil Saunders, who attended Quaker services for nine years before coming to FPC, and settle into the deep calm and profound silence of this traditional hour-long period of worship. It is a time of waiting, listening, centering, reflection—a chance to get in touch with your inner light.
