Meeting this Sunday

Zoom procedures seem to be working out pretty well.  So if you have not joined us yet via zoom we hope you will.  To join with us, please email Zoom [at] ConcordFriendsMeeting [dot] org (subject: Meeting for Worship)  for the Zoom link.  Please read below so you will know what to expect.  The link we have used for the past two Sundays will continue to be active for Sunday Worship until further notice.

  • You can enter anytime after 9:45 a.m. Ruth (as host) will greet you and check your audio is working; she'll ask you to mute your audio and then put you into the Meeting Room (a Breakout Room, for you Zoom techies).  This is a security enhancement.
  • We are offering this extra early time in the hope there will not be a last minute rush.
  • If you enter extra early, feel free to leave your physical seat, but when you return to the screen, expect that you and others in the Worship Room will be in worship.
  • We hope everyone will be in the Worship Room by 10:15
  • We will NOT be introducing everyone at this time.  You can scan the faces and names to see everyone who is present.
  • At the end of worship Rich, as clerk, will break Meeting.

Building a Culture of Peace Forum

Dear Friends of the Forum,

Please join us for our next Forum zoom event on Sunday, June 7th 4-5:30 p.m.  We are thankful to have Dr. Whitney Howard speak about her recent time in Rwanda, and to have NH's Clement Kigugu and Jean Bosco Rutegengwa speak about their experience.  What lessons about renewal can Rwandans teach us about resilience?  Please invite friends and share this invitation with your communities.

Registration is required. To register contact Doreen [at] nhpeaceaction [dot] org and place "Rawanda Program RSVP" in the subject line:

Hope to have you with us, LR Berger for Building a Culture of Peace Forum
