About Concord Friends Meeting

Our Meeting

The silent meetings started by George Fox and his followers are still the center of Quaker life. They are open to everyone. Quakers gather for a quiet hour in communion before God, during which anyone may speak if moved by the Spirit.

On some occasions, there may be no one who speaks. On other occasions, there may be one or several messages.

If you enter after a Meeting for Worship has begun, you are welcome to quietly take a seat.

We meet for worship every Sunday morning in our new Meetinghouse at 11 Oxbow Pond Road, Canterbury, NH  03224.  Telephone: (603) 783 8097

  • 10·00 - 10·15 : Worship through song (with silent pauses in between)
  • 10·15 - 11·15 : Worship (unprogrammed) and young people’s ‘First-Day School’
  • 11·15 - 11·30 : Introductions & announcements
  • 11·30 - 12·00 : Tea or coffee, talk (optional)
