About Sandy Spring Friends Meeting
Sandy Spring Friends Meeting is a Quaker community located in Sandy Spring, Maryland, that has welcomed visitors since 1753. The Meeting is described as warm and welcoming, affirming of LGBTQ families and diverse expressions of faith. Worship centers on receptive silence in an unadorned Meeting House, where Friends wait for the "still small voice" of God and speak only when moved to do so. The community gathers for worship at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays, with additional mid-week meetings on Wednesdays at noon and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Beyond Sunday worship, Sandy Spring offers Bible study, social action groups focused on justice and peace, Friendly Eights fellowship gatherings, and opportunities to serve the community.
