Light Reflections from Indianapolis First Friends Quaker Meeting

7-12-26 "A Crafted Life" - Rachel Doll O'Mahoney

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.
