About Us

Are you new to Quaker Meeting for Worship? New to the area? If so, you are very welcome! Please do check out our New to Meeting for Worship page to get all the information about what goes on at our Quaker Meeting and Meetinghouse.

We are a dynamic group of friends (who worship as Friends) made up of people from all walks of life. We love to see new people and are confident that you will feel right at home. Our worship tends to be on the quieter side. Even when we do have sharing of vocal ministry, we expect God/ Spirit to meet with us and speak to us.

The Meetinghouse is open for in-person Meeting for those who would like to join us there. We will continue meeting in Zoom concurrently as well, so you can join us either way. Please email us at office@upperdublinquakers.org for more information about our Zoom Meeting and ID/Password.

Our First Day (Sunday) mornings begin at 10 AM with Meeting for Worship. One Sunday each month, we have Meeting for Business, which starts at 9 AM, followed by Meeting for Worship at 10 AM. All are welcome to join during Meeting for Business where we make decisions about matters of importance to our community.

We are also very active in our local community working alongside other agencies and running our own projects in order to express the love of God, our fellow humans, and our environment in a practical way.

Hello and welcome to our meeting. If you are a new visitor, we have a page for you to get to know us and learn more about planning a visit.

New to Meeting for Worship?

If you've never attended a Meeting for Worship, we hope you will come worship with us.

Many have found help in viewing the "introductory" videos to answer questions that might arise in expectation of a Quaker Meeting for Worship.

Most Quaker meetings, at least in this part of country, are so-called "unprogrammed" meetings. This means that our meetings for worship are not led by a minister but are largely conducted in silence. Typically, a Clerk or other Member of the Meeting will close worship with a simple "Good morning, friends" but otherwise the meeting may be completely silent.

Members and attenders are always invited to speak out of the silence with a message about their spiritual journey, although messages are not responded to directly.

A message has been described as a pebble tossed into a pond. The resulting ripples are received by others in the meeting and may contribute to their own spiritual journeys.
