New Online Worship Group Under the Care of Pacific Yearly Meeting

As of this past week, there is a new online worship group under the care of Pacific Yearly Meeting!

As PacYM's book of Faith and Practice describes, a worship group is “a gathering of persons who meet regularly for worship after the manner of Friends and who desire to be identified with the principles and practices of the Religious Society of Friends,” similar to a monthly meeting but without its own meetings for worship for business. While most worship groups meet in a physical location or hybrid format and are under the care of a nearby monthly meeting, the new worship group is online and directly under the care of Pacific Yearly Meeting. A number of Friends in PacYM have voiced the need for an online worship group over the past several years, noting that many Friends are geographically distant from existing monthly meetings and worship groups or experiencing other hurdles to participating in them.

For now, the new worship group is having its meetings for worship from 10am-11am Pacific Time on Saturday mornings and 7:30-8:30pm Pacific Time on Tuesday evenings, with fellowship time following worship. Friends can join via the Zoom meeting invite below:
