About Us The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) are people on a journey toward discovering and enhancing their spiritual life. They don’t hold to a set dogma, but hold to basic, underlying, universal truths. There is that of God in everyone and, through stillness and waiting, we can discern the “still, small voice of God.” We adhere to the testimonies of Peace, Equality, Simplicity, and Integrity. For more on Quaker beliefs, see Beliefs and Practices. Miami Monthly Meeting holds Meeting for Worship every Sunday Morning at 10:45 am in the White Brick Meetinghouse in Waynesville. Adult First Day School (Sunday School) is conducted at 9:30 am, and a children’s program is available as the need arises. The Meeting’s active members continue their involvement on the Friends Home Board of Trustees, and they continue to witness to Friends’ historical testimonies. We are a small congregation, average attendance at Meeting for Worship is fifteen to twenty who are intimately gathered to wait in silence, listening for God’s voice, with the following questions in mind. · Do I faithfully attend meeting for worship with heart and mind prepared for worship, clear of any predetermination to speak or not to speak, and expecting that worship will be a source of strength and guidance? · Does worship deepen my relationship with God, increase my faithfulness, and refresh and renew my daily life, both inwardly and in my relationship with others? · Have I experienced in worship that direct leading to listen or to speak, and have I been faithful to my own experience? |

The White Brick Meetinghouse, built in 1811, is the oldest house of worship in continuous use west of the Allegheny Mountains. |

"The sick and those caring for them have need of our prayers. But let us not imagine ... that a few sentimental good wishes from a distance are all that is needed. Whenever we intercede in prayer we must be prepared for an answer which places a practical obligation upon us. A prayer is always a commitment." Thomas F Green, 1952 |
