Welcome to those visiting our site for the first time! To new and returning visitors, we’re glad you’re here. We welcome inquiries about membership in the Religious Society of Friends. We don't consider membership an obligation for those wishing to share in our worship or participate in our activities. Each person must follow their own leading with regards to membership.

If you live in Southwestern Ohio, or are planning to visit the area, we will be delighted to have you attend our Meeting for Worship. A link to an interactive map can be found on the About Us page .

Visitors are always welcome at Meeting for Worship and we hope you find strength and peace while you worship with us. No special preparation is necessary. Dress is casual.

Special arrangements to visit the Meetinghouse or our historic burial grounds during hours other than those when programs are taking place can be made by contacting one of the members listed on the About Us page or by filling out and submitting the form on the Contact Us page.

Connect with us at our lively Adult Discussion during the Religious Education hour each Sunday at 9:30.
Making extensive use of Pendle Hill Pamplhets, we've been studying The Quaker Doctrine of Inner Peace by Howard H. Brinton and are currently working through Brinton's Guide to Quaker Practice. The Religious Education Committee has suggested the Gospel of John as a possible study for early 2012.

Gather with us on the first Sunday of the month at a carry-in luncheon right after Meeting for Worship.

Explore the rest of our website for other opportunities to find out more about Quakers in general and Miami Friends in particular.

The 2nd Query (Prayer / Divine Relationship):
Do you so order your life as to include reading, meditation and communion, that you may know more of the presence and guidance of the Divine Spirit? Do you remember the need to pray for others, holding them in the presence of God?

Advices for the 2nd Query:
Prayer is the aspiration of the soul. It is our communion with God and is essential to religious life. The result of prayer becomes apparent in the nobler lives of those who are constant in its exercise. We should cultivate, individually, the habit of turning to God at all times, and of seeking Diving guidance in all things that we may, in truth, be led by the Light. Vocal prayer, when prompted by a deep concern and a sense of human need, is a vital part of worship and often helps those assembled to come into the consciousness of God‘s presence.

It is our common experience that communion with God is a fundamental need of the human soul. Constant listening for the promptings of the Divine Spirit and seeking to follow it in every relation of life will lead inevitably to spiritual growth.

If we are faithful followers of Jesus, we may expect at times to differ from the practice of others. Having in mind that truth in all ages has been advanced by the courageous example of spiritual leaders. Friends are earnestly advised to be faithful to those leadings of the Divine Spirit which they feel they have interpreted truly after mature meditation and consideration.

The Advices and Queries enable Friends, individually and corporately, to examine themselves in relation to the standards of conduct which the Society of Friends has established for itself.
