“We’re more than oats,” Say West NewtonQuakers. "We're SPICE-y!!"
The man on the Quaker Oats box
is what many people think of when they hear the word Quaker. But there’s more to Quakers than oats. There’s Quaker SPICE – Simplicity, Peace,
Integrity, Community, and Equality. Quakers from West Newton Friends Church will
be sharing about Quaker SPICE at the May 2nd edition of “Quaker
Quest.” The theme that night is “Quakers
and Everyday Living: Simplicity.”
“Quaker Quest” is a series of
free sessions that gives people a chance to learn about Quakers today. “Quakers and Everyday Living” will be held at
West Newton Friends Church at 6800 S. Mooresville Road in Indianapolis at 6:30
p.m. on April 25th and May 2nd. Dan Burger and Florence Emma Peery, two
Quakers from West Newton Friends Church, will be sharing short personal presentations
on Quaker life based on their own experience.
Quaker Quest sessions are open
to the public and are held on the next three Wednesday evenings. The programs include small group discussions,
time for questions and answers, and an opportunity to experience a bit of
Quaker worship. Refreshments and
childcare will be provided as well.
Advance reservations aren't necessary and the sessions are free.
