Millville Friends Meeting

An old place to meet new Friends

The First Meeting House, a Log building was constructed in 1795, then in 1847 a new Meeting House was built with brick. The Millville Friends Meeting is part of a larger collection of meeting houses from the surrounding geographical area, called the Upper Susquehanna Quarterly Meeting. This collective of meetings and meeting houses comprises Elklands, Huntington, Lewisburg, Millville, North Branch, Pennsdale, State College, Towanda and Wellsboro.

Community Life

From the beginning, Friends have recognized the importance of being in community. As early Friends struggled to follow God’s will, the Friends community provided spiritual support for their discernment of that will and material support for their families when they were imprisoned for their faith. Today, Friends continue to seek to be faithful, and their community continues to provide discernment and care.

Though Friends meetings vary in the range and nature of their activities, all meetings strive to offer a sympathetic and welcoming community in which people can share the joys and challenges of daily life. Friends meetings also offer discreet, confidential and loving support when needed, such as when a member feels a call to service or faces a life transition. In particular, the meeting may form a clearness committee to assist the individual in sorting out what to do.  The meeting may also refer the individual to other resources when support beyond what it can offer might be beneficial.

Meeting for Worship

Every Sunday at 10am

Our meetings for worship are now all held in-person at the Meetinghouse each Sunday at 10:00 am. Masking is recommended, but not required. Most First Days (Sunday) after meeting for worship, we host an activity, discussion, social time, or outdoors activities. Once a month, on the second First Day, we gather to attend to business before meeting for worship. We resume the business meeting around 11:10 if there is still unfinished business on the agenda.
