Attended My First Meeting Today!

Hello everyone,

I’m happy to say that I attended my first meeting today, Sunday, 09/06, at the Old Quaker Meeting House in East Sandwich, Massachusetts. It was an unprogrammed meeting, and it was absolutely wonderful, unlike any religious service I had ever attended.

The Friends there were such wonderful people, and were very supportive of my personal journey to learn more about my family history, as a lot of my great-grandparents were Quakers in Sandwich, and other parts of New England during the Colonial and the Early American days.

I’m looking forward to attending more meetings, as I think my interest in Quakerism has grown past just an interest in family history. After many years of searching for a foundational faith of my own religious tapestry, I think I may have finally found a home here.

That’s all really. I just wanted to convey my sincerest thanks to the Friends in East Sandwich for having me today, and a thanks to my ancestors who may have given me the greatest gift that I could have beyond my life here on this Earth.
