God invites everyone into sacred work.
We believe that every single person is called into service in some way.
Our practices are rooted in the traditions of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). We strive to celebrate, uplift, and nurture ministry among us all, recognizing that each of us may be called to serve in various ways at different times.
At Three Rivers, historically some folks have been particularly and consistently called into the work of facilitating worship, teaching, and providing connection, continuity, and care. We have called these folks our “Hosts.” They regularly give time, energy, and prayer to help to make the space welcoming and invite us all into connection with others, with Creation, and with the Divine. We are in the process of transitioning from having hosts as a worship group, to having a Ministry & Counsel committee as a monthly meeting. Watch this space!
