Meeting For Worship with the Concern for Business
During the Covid Pandemic, Friends have been holding Meeting for Worship with the Concern for Business via Zoom. It takes place on the second First Day (Sunday) of each month following Meeting for Worship at 12:00, concluding with fellowship and conversation, and the occasional chocolate cupcake.
Meeting for Business is held in the spirit of Quaker worship. We discuss the spiritual state of Menallen Monthly Meeting, financial obligations, maintenance, upcoming events, etc. Friends make decisions based upon a "sense of the Meeting" and all opinions are heard and considered. We are convened by The Clerk of the Meeting, a volunteer who leads the business meetings and is a point person for communications to and by the meeting.
Our first post-Covid Meeting for Business was held at the meeting house on the second First Day of the month, June 13 after regular Meeting for Worship. Friends were glad to be back in the meeting house, and enjoyed a Pot Luck lunch after the meeting.
