Should you need help during the meeting, use Chat to send a direct message to the Host, who can be found under the Participant tab. Please avoid use of the chat for any other purpose during the worship hour, as many find it distracting.

BFM Meeting House Fragrance-Free Request
Out of respect for those who are sensitive to chemicals and fragrances, please refrain from use of much perfume and scented body care products (scented deodorant, shampoo, soap, etc.) prior to entering Boulder Friends Meeting House for Sunday Meeting for Worship or other BFM events/activities. Another thing that would help would be to avoid use of scented detergent, as the clothes remain scented (they don’t lose the fragrance after a few days, as some people think).
Friends Emergency Fund
The Meeting has an Emergency Fund that helps individuals/families connected to the Meeting who are faced with severe short-term financial need.

Would you like to participate in sending Light to those who request it? First suggested as a prayer circle, “Circle of Light” seemed a more inclusive name. We try to surround those in need with Light as soon as it is requested.
Should you wish to remain anonymous, just provide whatever details are needed for us to focus on your situation.
