NEW !!! Yes, we still enjoy eating and chatting at the open houses that we host the fourth Sunday of each month. On February 23, 2025, we will start a new series of discussions
for your delectation. :)
Our theme for 2025 is Quaker Dis-Orientation.
Quaker Disorientation: Learning and Unlearning Quaker Faith & Practice is a brief four-part video series for newcomers to Quaker faith. It is intended to provide some information about core practices and insights about the faith, a pathway for entering into Quaker faith and practice. In these four 20-minute videos there is an overview, but this is by no means intended to be comprehensive.

Thank you, Ben Pink Dandelion, for presenting Reclaiming Our Quaker Voice on March 17, 2024 via Zoom. This "hybrid" presentation was co-hosted by Trenton and Barnegat Monthly Meetings and was the program portion of the March meeting of Burlington Quarter.
Thank you, Keith Calmes, for another memorable performance on January 21, 2024.
Did you miss it? Watch Barnegat Meeting's social media and Keith's YouTube channel or SoundCloud for favorite pieces from
the event, which was a program of (all or mostly) religious music, specifically fine arrangements of music from Worship in Song
(Friends Hymnal).
Yes! We hosted another Death Cafe on February 12, 2024. Watch our website, our
social media sites (see icons on our home page), and local news media and
social networking sites for notice of a future one.
What is a Death Café? At a Death Café people gather to eat cake, drink tea, and discuss the taboo topic of death. The objective is “to increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives”.
It is a group discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. There is no intention of leading people to any conclusion, product, or course of action. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
This group will be moderated by Barbara Reynolds and Debra Dooley. Learn more at www.deathcafe.com or at

The 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project
Was presented on October 15, 2023, by our in-person guest Avis Wanda McClinton and her co-presenters (via Zoom) Dennis Gregg, David Satten-López, Kitty Mizuno.
To repair is to fix what was broken. The history of Quakers as slaveowners contains much
damage and breakage. The 339 Manumissions and Beyond Project is a Quaker-led reparative project. It seeks to restore the family histories of those descended from people enslaved by Quakers and answer the question: What happened to these newly freed Americans and how
did they survive?
"Know from whence you came. If you know whence you came,
there are absolutely no limitations to where you can go." James Baldwin
