Annapolis Friends Meeting

In August, Young Adult Friend Martin Krafft offered a presentation about his trip to the South Pacific and subsequent adventures hitch-hiking through New Zealand.

An all-ages gathering in August discussed what an ideal First Day School program would look like.

Adult learning programs have included Quaker Religious and Social Testimonies and a fresh look at the Quaker Peace Testimony. Meg Meyer met with us to discuss our relationship to Baltimore Yearly Meeting. We held a midweek gathering to hear from Ann Riggs, home from Friends Theological College in Kenya to which she will return for a second year as principal.

The Meeting held a threshing session on whether Nominating Committee should enforce term limit for service on Committees.

Several Friends are very active with the Annapolis Light House Shelter, serving on the board and coordinating Friends contributions to a monthly dinner. They also collect non-perishable food items to deliver to the pantry after each First Day.

Ministry and Worship Committee conducted a survey to learn Friends interest in attending Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business. They hope to interest more people in attending.

A new tankless water heater has been installed and three green areas or islands and a bio-retention area constructed in the parking lot as required by county ordinances.
