In-Person Meeting for Worship

Updated December 22, 2024

Meeting for Worship is held in-person, year-round at our Third Street Meetinghouse at 10:30am on Sundays. We also hold Meeting for Worship at our Hector Meetinghouse at 9:00 am, during warmer months and as Friends are led during colder months. An announcement is sent to the Meeting listserv each week as to whether worship is happening at Hector.

Masks are welcome.

Some of us are at a higher risk for serious illness, and some disabilities are not visible.

Please be considerate of those among us who are trying to avoid illness.

  • Stay home if you have any symptoms of a contagious disease
  • Consider wearing a mask, to protect others (as well as yourself)
  • Consider social-distancing, especially from others wearing masks

All are welcome.

Worship at Third Street Meetinghouse

Our Third Street Meetinghouse is in Ithaca’s Northside neighborhood (120 Third Street, Ithaca, NY 14850). Parking is available in the lot behind the Meetinghouse (enter from Madison Street) or on the street, as permitted. The Meetinghouse is wheelchair accessible. Listening Assistive Devices are available. One of the greeters can get you one.

Chairs in the meetingroom are placed fairly close together. If you would prefer to keep the chairs next to you empty during meeting for worship, you are invited to grab placards (as pictured) and place them in the chairs adjacent to you.

Worship at Hector Meetinghouse

During the warmer months of the year, in-person Meeting for Worship is also held at Hector Meetinghouse every Sunday. Generally this means from Easter to Thanksgiving Day. In the fall of 2024, a group of Friends who regularly worship at Hector felt led to continue to worship inside the building most Sundays at 9 am. An announcement regarding whether Meeting for Worship is being held at Hector that week is sent to the Meeting listserv on Saturday. All are welcome to attend this Meeting for Worship.

The Meetinghouse is also used on special occasions and some holidays.
