Above is a picture of the rear entrance of the AUUF building. This is the entrance we use, it is located off the parking lot. Typically the door that faces East is opened at 3:45 pm each Sunday. Please come in and go upstairs to the sanctuary. There is a wheelchair accessible lift if needed.
There will be a circle of chairs and normally 5-9 Friends attend Sunday afternoon meeting. If you arrive before 4:00pm, please join our small group and introduce yourself. If you arrive after 4:00, please come in, take a seat, and join us in contemplative silent worship. At 5:00, we adjourn, do brief introductions & announcements, then move to the social hall for fellowship with tea and snacks.
The Anchorage Monthly Meeting has "unprogrammed" worship. Unprogrammed means there is no single person, such as a priest or minister, who leads our worship.
We sit quietly, in silence, waiting upon the Inward Light to inspire, to refresh, and to guide us. This is a time where individuals choose to pray, meditate, or reflect and sit in quietness.
Occasionally individuals feel moved to share a message with the larger group. After speaking, the group reflects in silence on what has been said. Often, though, we wait upon the Light, strengthening ourselves and each other in prayerful attentiveness to God/the Spirit/the Divine.
