Westport Meeting News:
Hello Friends, Several Friends have asked me over time if there was a way to read all the “Closings” (selection of prayers and reflections) that appear at the end of our weekly Meeting Newsletters. I’m happy to say that I have finally sat down long enough to create a page called Closing Prayers and Reflections, and the page may be viewed on our site HERE.

There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky;
there is one spectacle grander than the sky,
that is the interior of the soul.
