Origins

Friends of the Light's history is of two worship groups that came together.

In 1986 Joe Kelly, a member of Long Lake Friends Church, heard a call to be a minister. He and others from Long Lake Friends Church began meeting on Sunday afternoons in St. Rita's Church, the former Maple City Friends meetinghouse. They took the name Pleasant Grove Worship Group, which was the historic name of Maple City Friends Meeting. The worship group was under the care of Long Lake Friends.

Joe also started a worship group at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City for people in recovery and/or with mental health challenges. After learning about the history of early Friends, the group named itself Friends of the Light.

In 1990, at the invitation of Indiana Yearly Meeting, Friends of the Light relocated into the empty Traverse City Friends meetinghouse and began caring for it. Twelve-step groups started using the property and other community groups and churches followed.

In 1994 the Pleasant Grove Worship Group relocated from Maple City to the Traverse City Friends meetinghouse. They were known at "the ten o'clock group," and Friends of the Light were  known at "the four o'clock group." Later that year, Friends of the Light and Pleasant Grove Worship Group merged as one monthly meeting under the name Friends of the Light. 

In 2003 several Friends began an unprogrammed meeting for worship, which continues to meet at 9:00 a.m. The unprogrammed worship group later joined Friends of the Light Monthly Meeting.

In 2009 the State of Michigan awarded the Traverse City Friends meetinghouse, which was built in 1893, Historic Building status.

About us:

We began meeting as an online church on Sunday, August 16, 2020 when The Lord cleared a path for us to do so. On October 3, 2021 we expanded our gatherings for worship to include both an in-person gathering at Madison Middle School in Madison, Ohio alongside our active online community. We eventually settled in to a wonderful rhythm of gathering online only most weeks and hybrid gatherings for worship the first Sunday of each month.

We are made up of people from northern Ohio as well as many other parts of Ohio, New York, Virginia, Georgia, and Canada. Since so many of us haven’t met face-to-face, we spend as much time as we can in the comments section of our live meetings for worship as well as in online book studies, Zoom seminars, and any other way we can stay connected!

One of the most significant motivating factors for The Open Table to exist in the first place, and to continue to do so, is the consistent and blatant disregard for and abuse of people in the lgbtq+ community, people of color, women, and many other marginalized people at the hands of religious people and institutions. Because so many of us have been wounded by, gate-kept, gaslit, and straight-up excluded from many local parishes and congregations, Open Table Friends Church explicitly AFFIRMS and CELEBRATES people who haven’t yet found a safe group to worship with. This is an important part of our story and a significant part of who we are.

If you love Jesus but have been wounded by the church, you are welcome to take some time to get to know us. Trust is a big struggle for many of us, and we don’t expect that you will immediately feel safe among us. Our hope, however, is that in time you will find out that there truly is a place at the table for you!

History

Members of the Religious Society of Friends — many from North Carolina — settled and named the area in the early 1820s.  In 1828 Duck Creek Monthly Meeting set up Spiceland Preparative Meeting. Spiceland's first log meetinghouse was erected in 1828.  Before this, Friends worshipped in a log barn and, at least for its first meeting, under the trees in 1824.

The meeting set up an academy in 1826 and operated it until it was closed in 1921 and taken over by the township.

In 1833 Duck Creek set off Spiceland as a monthly meeting, and a frame one-story meetinghouse replaced the log structure.  The present Italianate brick meetinghouse was built just north of the frame building in 1874.

Origins

In 1804, Surveyor General of the Northwest Territory sent out a letter to the Yearly Meetings to invite people to relocate to the Miami Valley. The Quakers of Wrightsboro, Georgia responded and moved to what is now West Elkton in 1805. They were followed by Friends from the Carolinas (1807), New Jersey and Philadelphia. Initially, they met at Eli Cook's farm. What was originally Elk Meeting became a monthly meeting in 1809. It was part of Baltimore Yearly Meeting until 1812 and of Ohio Yearly Meeting until Ohio set off Indiana Yearly Meeting in 1821. 

In the Hicksite-Orthodox controversy of 1827-8, while most of the membership remained Orthodox, the building was shared with the Hicksites, and many historically Hicksite members remaining in the meeting. This level of comfort with diversity has characterized the meeting since then, though it did experience an Anti-Slavery separation in 1843.

About

The Coffin Meetinghouse dates to 1832, when Quakers in the village of Newport (later renamed Fountain City) began to hold meetings for worship. Among them were the merchant Levi Coffin (1798–1877) and his wife Catharine (1801–1881), whose home was a major center of anti-slavery and Underground Railroad activities. In 1838 Newport Friends built a meetinghouse, which forms the nucleus of the current building. Much expanded and remodeled, it was used for Quaker worship until 2011. In 2013, the New Association of Friends assumed ownership of the building. Under the leadership of Richmond Friend Ed Nicholson, the meeting room was restored to the appearance that Levi and Catharine Coffin would have known in the 1840s, when Quakers gathered to sit in silence, confident that if God had a message for the group, God would move someone to speak. With an adjacent wing, the Meetinghouse is available for meetings, programs, events and tours by appointment.
