Witness Wednesday

On Wednesdays, join FCNL at the (virtual) Quaker Welcome Center, where witness meets advocacy.

Every Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. ET, FCNL hosts a gathering on zoom for Friends around the country. This is an opportunity to engage in silent reflection with one another. It is a time to come together in community. We have reached the difficult decision to lay down the regular Witness Wednesday gathering. Our final weekly gathering will take place on Wednesday, December 16.  You can see other Quaker offerings for worship and action here.

What to expect at Silent Reflection

The space is open for conversation and fellowship beginning at 5 p.m. ET.

At 5:15 p.m. ET, a designated convener will gather the group. Often the convener will share a quote or question to help the group focus.

The group will settle into silence. Anyone is welcome to share a message or reflection. We ask that you leave space between messages and only share once.

A few minutes before 6:00 p.m. ET, the convener will close the gathering and invite participants to introduce themselves and share closing thoughts.
