History of MFM | Early Days |
|
Midlothian Friends Meeting started in the fall of 1987 as an
outgrowth of friends who were attending Richmond Friends Meeting,
and desired to establish a meeting closer to their homes in the 'southside'
of Richmond, in the Midlothian area. The group began by meeting in
someone's home once a month, while still attending Richmond Friends
Meeting at other times. |

History of MFM
| Winfree Years |
|
In the fall of 1988, the Midlothian group began meeting in the old
Winfree Baptist church building after the Winfree Baptists built a
new sanctuary. Midlothian Friends were to meet at Winfree for almost
10 years, until July 1997. This was a time of rapid growth in
Meeting. |
