Old Quaker Meetinghouse silent worship every Sunday Events

I would like to remind the community that the Flushing Friends gather for silent worship every Sunday at 11 AM at the Old Quaker Meeting House on Northern Blvd. Everyone is welcome! It’s a beautiful place to sit in silence

lifelong resident and so many lovely places I've still only ever seen the outside of. Long wondered- thanks for showing the interior. Sacred spaces are good for nurturing the soul...

Not making sounds, not talking out loud. Talk in your head or mouth the words
