The Meeting decided at the July Meeting for Worship with a Concern for Business to allow the Hinenu Jewish community to have full use of the Meetinghouse on First Day, September 13 for Rosh Hashanah. We wish them l’shana tovah u’metukah!

Homewood Friends Meeting activities will be held at Friends Burial Ground at 2506 Harford Road, Baltimore. Friends Burial Ground is the oldest cemetery in Baltimore, established in 1713, and holds approximately 1,900 graves. This is a special opportunity to Worship together in the midst of over 300 years of Quaker history.
