As we usher in 2024, we can officially celebrate 200 years of Quakers worshiping in Spiceland! This year also marks 150 years of Friends gathering in our beautiful brick meetinghouse. Plans are being made for several ways to mark this milestone, culminating with a celebration Saturday & Sunday, September 28-29. We are preparing a booklet of memories and testimonies of current and past attenders.
- Do you have a long family history with the meeting? Tell us about it.
- Have you only been attending a short time? Tell us what drew you to come and why it’s important to you.
- Who in the meeting had a big influence on your spiritual life, long ago or recently, and in what way?
- How have things changed?
- What are some of your favorite memories?
- What impact has Spiceland Friends had on you or your family?
Write down your thoughts and drop it in the Suggestion Box in the welcome center, hand it to Janet, Eric, or Nancy, or email it to the church office. If you don’t like to write, someone will be happy to visit with you and jot down what you would like to share. Just let us know!
The faces have changed over those 200 years and the meetinghouse has experienced some growth, but the practice of worshiping the Lord and following the leading of the Spirit remains the same. Please share what Spiceland Friends means to you!
We invite all members and attenders, past and present, to come and be part of an event that not only celebrates the ways God has blessed us and worked through us down through the years, but we also look forward in excitement as we consider what God is calling us to do in the future as we continue to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
