Read MoreWe are excited to announce that Nicholas and Dorcas Otieno have recently been named as Living Letter missionaries, sent from Kenyan Friends to serve in Tanzania Yearly Meeting. By sending them as Living Letters, we can invite members of the FUM community to support and pray for their ministry. The initial support for their work is provided by Indiana Yearly Meeting; however, the FUM Africa Ministries Office has plans for Kenyan Friends to increase their support for the Oteieno’s ministry over time.

With no employees allowed on the Ramallah Friends School campus for a month, no one will be there to do the heavy landscaping work until at least April, after I leave. I won't be able to participate in the installation of the Circle. My disappointment is pretty intense—so much design happens when you actually install.

Throughout our history, the people known as Friends (or Quakers) keep rediscovering an essential and enduring truth: There is one who speaks to our most basic needs and most significant hopes—Christ Jesus the Lord. Both individually and communally, we are learning to know and follow the Voice that guides us in the way we should go. Together, we seek to understand and obey that truth which sets us free. As a people, we share in the experience of that powerful life which makes all things new. Maybe you are searching for an authentic and transforming faith and community to call home—if so, come in and join us as we seek to know and follow Christ.
Friends United Meeting commits itself to energize and equip Friends through the power of the Holy Spirit to gather people into fellowships where Jesus Christ is known, loved, and obeyed as Teacher and Lord.
