5th Night Light – Every Thursday evening

From 7:00 pm until 8:00 pm every Thursday, the AFM community engages in a spiritual practice that acknowledges the Light of God within each person and that to be in community is to actively care for one another. During that time, Friends hold people and situations who need additional spiritual support in the Light. Friends will pause wherever they may be, read the list of names, and hold each person or situation in our hearts and in the Light. On Wednesday, the list of names or situations are sent out to the AFM-Announce list.

For more information, contact Pastoral Care at pastoral-care@annapolisfriends.org.

Sacred Chant and Dance

On December 11 (Sunday) at 9:15 am in person, Everyone is warmly welcome to join, in person at our meetinghouse, our sacred circle of chant and dance. It is an ancient way of celebrating community and togetherness. Through our gentle movement and very simple chants, the body, mind and heart tend to become integrated while we connect with our Center and the other dancers. It is a spiritual and interfaith practice in which one may experience a deep sense of the Divine. So, come, relax, and find the joy and beauty of the Light within, between, and all around us. Masks and physical distancing are optional. There will be no Zoom connection.

For more information, please contact Sylvia O. at info@annapolisfriends.org.
