Nestled in the sleepy hamlet of a serene village in New Jersey
among the idyllic rolling hills of Hunterdon County is a simple Meetinghouse
where generations of people have gathered in silent waiting
nurturing and seeking
what is known to Quakers as the inner light.
You are invited to explore the hinterlands of your own inner light.
Be still and center your mind and body in calm simplicity.
Experience the beautifully plain and historical interior, containing rows of neatly arranged benches where you can sit in waiting silence.
Join other people from different traditions, orientations and ages in a safe place every
Sunday [ First Day ] from 10:30 am to 11:30 am
Thats when the doors are open to the 19th century meeting house entrusted to Quakers, who have been a part of Hunterdon County since the English colonial times of America.
Religious Society of Friends
Foundation Principles
The inward light
universality of grace
personal transformation
continuing revelation
Tradition
In the mid-1600's amid the tumultuous years of England's Civil War and a religious atmosphere created by a scholarly German monk, Martin Luther, the first Friends were drawn to George Fox who believed that God dwells in each of us, rather than in holy books or buildings.
Practice
We meet every Sunday morning at 10:30 am for un-programmed worship. We gather to worship in stillness which enables us to shed strains, stresses and distractions of the secular world and open ourselves to centering with the divine presence.
