Many of the early Friends did not celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. They believed that EVERY day should be a day of Thanksgiving. Perhaps we might also consider taking time each day to do the same. With our busy family schedules in 2025, taking one day to be with family - often extended family members - is also very special. Enjoy your day however you choose to celebrate!

Testimonies
As part of the Society of Friends, we seek to let our lives speak our commitment to Quaker values:
Simplicity: Friends believe that the most important things in life aren't things.
Peace: Friends believe there is always a path that brings peace, justice, dignity, and respect.
Equality: Friends believe that every person is equally loved by God, no matter what.
Stewardship: Friends believe that all God's gifts are entrusted to us for the sake of future generations.
Integrity: Friends believe that our words and actions must reflect our truest selves.
Community: Friends believe that we need each other, since each and every one of us is precious in our community.
"All Church Reads" Book Discussion Groups open to all interested persons are held in the spring and fall each year.
