CommunityWise Resource Centre in Calgary
Sundays at 10:30 AM
Calgary Quakers gather for blended Meeting for Worship (both in person and on Zoom) each Sunday at 10:30 AM. We meet in the CommunityWise Resource Centre in Calgary’s Beltline at 223-12th Ave. SW. All are warmly welcomed.
Note: Through Sept 7, 2025 we meet in person at CommunityWise; after that date, the in-person venue will change (Zoom remains the same). Updates will be shared by email.
To receive the Zoom link or to join the mailing list to receive weekly announcements, please email yycquakers@gmail.com. Additional dates and events are available in the weekly announcements.
Upcoming Changes
Called Meeting — Tues, Aug 26, 7 PM (on Zoom)
Friends are invited to a Called Meeting to review potential new locations for our in-person Meeting for Worship and to consider a possible time change. We will also discuss plans for clearing our current office and short-term storage of records and library materials. (Usual Zoom link.)
Pack-and-Move Party — Sun, Sept 7 (after Meeting for Worship)
As we prepare to leave our 12th Avenue home after Sept 7, please join the pack-and-move effort. Bring your lunch, your muscles, your humour—and boxes or vehicles if you’re able.
Quakers Embrace Everyone
In the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs embark together on a spiritual journey. Although their individual beliefs may vary, Quakers share a Testimony of Equality based on the idea of a Divine presence in all people. A testimony is not a belief; it is committed action arising out of spiritual experience that describes the way that Friends testify or bear witness to their beliefs in their daily life.
“Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking voice, to which we may continuously return.”
~Thomas Kelly
The Calgary Religious Society of Friends acknowledges that our gatherings take place on Treaty 7 in Southern Alberta in Moh’kins’tsis, named by the Blackfoot, where the Bow River meets the Elbow. Southern Alberta is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
Calgary Monthly Meeting is part of Canadian Yearly Meeting and the Affirming Network of Faith Communities.
