The Religious Society of Friends
18058 Bear Creek Road, Earlham, Iowa 50072
One mile north of I-80 Earlham exit 104
A Warm Welcome
We’re a small rural meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) located in a community established in the 1870’s. Bear Creek Friends Meeting is an “un-programmed meeting.”
The Meeting for Worship is the heart of Friends faith. We “meet in worship to wait upon God to speak within, and through one to one another. As we quiet our senses and center … We experience a sense of greater nearness to the Divine Source of Truth and Reality.” The Religious Society of Friends exists to nurture the experience of God through Meeting for Worship and to support one another as each seeks to discern and to live according to the will of God.
– see “Faith & Practice” of Iowa Yearly Meeting Conservative
We are located near Earlham, Iowa -west from Des Moines about 30 minutes on I-80 to exit 104.
10 a.m. This Sunday’s Discussion: Deep Hospitality
How do we prepare spiritually to receive guests who may hear God differently and who see comfort? How do we welcome that of God in every one?
11 a.m. Silent Worship and messages as God inspires.
There is a cherished presence when a small group gather in the silence to listen for “the small still voice”.
