      Members and attenders are encouraged to participate on committees. (Certain committees require membership, these being Ministry and Counsel, Finance, Marriage Clearness, Pastoral Care and Nominating). Since Meeting has no paid staff, all work is done by committees and therefore the life of the Meeting depends on active participation by all.
     Welcome to the Providence Meeting . We are a Friends (Quaker) Meeting located at the corner of Morris Ave. and Olney St. on the East Side of Providence. Meeting for Worship is at 10:00 AM every Sunday. We invite you to join us for Meeting and/or to come into our website to learn more.

Quaker Quotes

various Quakerly thoughts to be changed occasionally

     The purpose of Meeting for Worship can be explained in relatively simple terms: we gather in silence to seek a deeper understanding of what lies in our hearts, a greater awareness of the spirituality of life, and a clearer sense of direction for our lives.

Lee Quinby   

 

     I had no ecstatic experiences, I was subject to no miraculous seeming revelations, no sharp break occurred in the unfolding of a normal and ordinary life....I have few epoch dates to record and no single Damascus vision. What I do feel sure of , however, is a frequent influx of divine life and power...... the warm intimate touch of a guiding hand.
