Activities

To nurture our spiritual growth and build community, Eno Friends participate enthusiastically in a number of meeting activities:

  • Monthly educational forums for adults that are sometimes appropriate for the youth as well, held on the first Sunday of each month before meeting for worship
  • Potluck lunches after meeting for worship on the second Sunday of each month
  • Midweek fellowship on Zoom, with worship sharing about the monthly queries and other spiritual topics
  • Thursday morning walks at the Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail
  • Friendly Eights social gatherings

We also hold special activities in recognition of major events, such as Christmas and the International Day of Peace.

In addition, we volunteer with a number of community groups whose values reflect our Quaker testimonies:

  • Prison Ministry at Orange Correctional Center and Reentry House Plus
  • Support food security through PORCH, Hillsborough Community Garden, the Food for Schools snacks program, and other efforts
  • Orange Congregations in Mission
  • Advance racial equity and justice here and in nearby communities
  • Raise awareness of racial terror through Orange County Community Remembrance Coalition, coordinating with the Equal Justice Institute
  • Alternatives to Violence Project
  • Promote LGBTQ+ justice and gender equity
  • Friends Committee on North Carolina Legislation
  • Maintain the historic Quaker cemetery
