Worship and celebration
However you choose to worship, Earlham offers a welcoming community that’s ready to celebrate alongside you. Join us at College Meeting for Worship on Sundays, join a student-led worship event, or create your own in partnership with the Office of Religious Life.
COLLEGE MEETING FOR WORSHIP
The weekly College Meeting for Worship combines quiet worship, readings, music, and a prepared message by a senior student or faculty member. Designed as a semi-programmed Quaker service, each week’s speaker is encouraged to creatively incorporate elements from his or her own religious tradition.
Spring 2021 — Together alone or alone together
Join us Sundays this spring as we learn about love. Worship begins at 1p.m. (EST) in Stout Meetinghouse and online.
- From whom have you learned about love?
- What does your religious tradition teach about love?
- How has love changed you?
- What scares you about love?
- What impact can love have?
