Wednesday Online Worship Sharing


Each Wednesday from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Quaker Center hosts an online Worship Sharing group. Friends gather in a worshipful attitude to reflect together on a quote and some related queries. Worship sharing is similar to a Quaker Meeting for Worship in that, after an initial period of silence, those present speak from their own experience and allow for silence between contributions. Participants speak only once, until everyone who wishes to has had a chance to share. Newcomers are welcome. Click the Zoom link below to join the group.

This week’s quotes:

I said to my soul, be still, and wait…

In the darkness shall be the light

And the stillness the dancing

T. S. Elliot

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Vivian Greene

Give over thine own willing, give over thy own running, give over thine own desiring to know or be anything and sink down to the seed which God sows in the heart, and let that grow in thee and be in thee and breathe in thee and act in thee.

Isaac Pennington 1661

,O gave the keynote speech at Pacific Yearly Meeting Annual Session. The theme was Transformation. She spoke of the caterpillar transforming to butterfly and of the human embryo growing from a tiny speck of the fertilized egg. She had us hold a seed and imagine it sprouting while we watched a video of a peanut sprouting on time lapse photography and saw it dance.

Queries: 

  • Is your life holding a seed waiting to sprout? How could you water it? What light is needed?
  • Is there a storm in your life inviting you to dance?
  • Is transformation cradling you? Sprouting you? Dancing with you? Or is it time for you to be still and wait in the darkness?
  • Are you a seed? Do you feel God’s seed in your heart?
