Title: Finding Spiritual Refuge
Matthew Sharp of Cherry Hill, NJ
I think my kids really benefit. I think it's a huge gift my wife and I have given them. Meeting gives them a kind of a chance, a practice, of being silent in a world where there's so many distractions, and there's so much data and information. So, the meeting's just kind of like a refuge and a place to be that we don't have to be super brilliant. We don't have to know everything. We can just kind of try to, you know, find that Light inside of us, that God inside of us. And what does that look like? How does that come out?
Title card: How My Family Found Spiritual Refuge in Quaker Meeting
It's a place where you can go and be yourself and find that Light inside yourself. You know that Light when you do something good, when you feel good, when you help others? That thing that comes out and shines.
And we were just attracted to the Meeting because of the service aspect, the social justice, and really, the conversations at Adult First Day School kind of were the things we were concerned about and thinking about as a family.
So, my name is Matthew Sharp, and I live in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and I go to Haddonfield Monthly Meeting.
Led by the Spirit
Open & Affirming
Centered on Community
1. Find Quakers
Find a Quaker community near you.
2. Get ready
Want to know what to expect? Get ready for your first visit.
3. Experience it
Get in touch with your nearest meeting to find out how to connect during social distancing.
Or when it's safe, show up and experience a way of worshiping where we listen to God and each other.
Don't go it alone!
You deserve a faith community where you belong.
Be Free
We're a faith community that is refreshingly free in its approach. The most "dogmatic" it gets around these parts is "there is that of God in everyone."
Be Known
Small, close-knit communities give you the opportunity to really get to know others and be known by them. These small communities are connected to form the larger South Jersey Quakers community.
Share Values
Chances are, you want a community that shares your values. How do peace, integrity, equality, and simplicity sound?
