Renaissance House is a Quaker House of Prayer and Hospitality in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Richmond, Indiana. It was created to provide a safe place for people who live on the fringe of society, to come and share a mid-week common meal and worship together. They have a unique worship group comprised of people who live in the community and people from other neighborhoods, who gather together to share good food and conversation, followed by a lively hymn sing and time of intercessory prayer. Their pitch-in meal begins at 6:00pm, and ecumenical worship is from 7:00pm until approximately 8:15pm. Everyone is welcome at their table and worship time. Their worship group is under the care of West Richmond Friends Meeting but they have a wide spectrum of denominations represented and they encourage each other in our own faith journeys.
