The theme for this Quarterly gathering is "Cleaning Out Our Attics." One meaning of this theme is to examine the dusty old beliefs and practices hidden away within us and bring them into the Light. Another meaning is to find the stored-away records of the history of our Quarter, Monthly Meetings and Worship Groups. If you can, bring a document or artifact that dates from the founding of your Meeting or Worship Group to share with the gathering.
Registration begins at 8:15, followed by family worship, with closing worship ending before 5:00. Lunch is included in the $15 adult registration fee. There is an overnight program Saturday for teens, ages 13 to 18.
For information on housing, carpooling and additions to the program, contact CPQM Clerk, Eric Sabelman, 650-322-2455.
There are unprogrammed and programmed Friend (Quaker) meetings for worship. Unprogrammed Friends meetings gather in silence for worship, and programmed meetings usually have a pastor and have worship similiar to Protestant services.
Local meetings, which have weekly Meetings for Worship, are called Monthly Meetings because they hold a Meeting for the purpose of business once a month. They are organized by geographic region into larger Quarterly Meetings, which are organized into yet-larger Yearly Meetings.
CPQM is a gathering of unprogrammed monthly meetings in Northern California and Northern Nevada (list of meetings). It is a part of Pacific Yearly Meeting (PYM). Another quarterly meeting in PYM is the Southern California Quarterly Meeting, which includes Monthly Meetings in Southern California, Southern Nevada, Mexico and Central America.
The Yearly Meeting for programmed meetings in this area is Evangelical Friends Church Southwest.
