New Meeting Space

As of September 2nd, Grand Rapids Friends Meeting is now held at the Browne Center, 2001 Robinson Road, on the campus of Aquinas College. It is easiest to use the parking lot off of Woodward Lane.

Meeting time is 10:30 every Sunday with Meeting lasting one hour and fellowship afterward.

Quaker Women's Group

The Quaker gals camp out was a great success; and there was consensus that we should continue to get together throughout the year (Sandy from Holland has offered to facilitate a women's history afternoon). This is an invitation to any gals not yet participating on the google group - Quaker Women - to get involved. To be part of the conversation just drop me an email and I'll get you signed up. I hope more are able to join us for future adventures.
