Current Queries and Advices
MEETING FOR WORSHIP
Query:
Are our Meetings for Worship held in expectant waiting for Divine guidance, with a living silence in which we feel drawn together in the Light by the presence of God? Do we respond to the Spirit’s prompting to minister, whether in silence, through the spoken word or through action after the Meeting for Worship?
Advices:
- Be prompt and diligent in attendance at Meetings.
- Come to Meeting with expectant hearts and minds prepared for communion with God.
- Be faithful, be patient, and persevere in our service as messengers of Truth.
- To everyone is given a share of the responsibility for the Meeting for Worship, whether through silence or through the spoken word.
