We are grateful to Megan Alderman for be our guest speaker this morning! Megan is a member of First Friends. She is a pathologist by day, mom and grassroots organizer by night. When she's not peering through a microscope or trying to make the world a little better, you'll find her crocheting, meditating, reading, or huddled over board and card games with her family.A Convinced Quaker with a curiosity about Buddhism, Megan loves big questions, good conversations, cozy crafts, and finding the connections that bring people together. She believes empathy, humor, and a little bit of persistence can go a long way.

Many thanks to Rachel Doll O'Mahoney for giving the message this morning! Rachel pastors at Valley Mills Friends Meeting in Indianapolis and also serves as a spiritual director, accompanying people through conversations about faith, life, and paying attention to God's presence. She is passionate about helping people encounter God with honesty, curiosity, and hope. Rachel lives in Indianapolis with her spouse and their four children. First Friends holds a special place in Rachel's story. It was the first Quaker meeting she attended, where she quietly explored Quaker worship by joining online, slipping into unprogrammed worship, or sitting in the back before making a quick exit.
