Meaningful Events for Patriots Week 2025 at the Meetinghouse

Despite weather that was concerning on the morning of two of our events, there was a good crowd for those and a great turnout on New Year's Eve for the Annual Peace Vigil.

Fred Millner, our "Quaker historian in residence" helped presented information and stories about individual local Quakers who were involved in fighting or resisting the fighting of the Revolutionary War. And he talked about the overview of Quaker dilemmas choosing sides and/or choosing to help the Colonists or the British.

Despite the weather, Marc McKithen led a good sized band of intrepid folks on the Walking Tour of Colonial Trenton. Interesting and informative, it was very well received.

The Annual New Yeaar's Eve Peace Vigil, co sponsored by the Coalition For Peace Action, had great attendance and an especially enjoyable fellowship time after the time of Quaker style worship and contemplation. In the middle of our silent worship, invited leaders from the Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, Sikh and Christian faiths shared briefly about how Peace centers in their faith traditions and beliefs.
