I love home meetings, or meetings that are held in former "houses." My first meeting was at Inland Valley Friends Meeting in Riverside, CA.  It was the end of my church shopping tour, and after weeks of searching the internet for volunteer opportunities and reading up on George Fox, I decided to visit.

The pure simplicity of the "Q" sign, then the home, then the silence, then the community was encompassing and inviting.  The first message I heard was about birds,

I returned and didn't speak until my sixth month.  Meanwhile, I had been attending studies and had been asked to SERVE that is when I knew I was wanted, and valued.  

I met people who practiced publicly what they preached intimately in meeting for worship--and I knew I would stay.
