Newcomers to Quaker worship may find it a different experience from a traditional church service. 

No priest/minister/rabbi?
Midlothian Meeting has no paid staff, nor do we have a paid, formal position occupied by a member of the clergy. However, we have ministers; each one of us is a minister. We minister to each other.

Unprogrammed worship
Our worship is simple and plain. We are an "unprogrammed" meeting. Instead of a program, we sit, mostly in silence, in rows of chairs formed in a rough semi-circle. Attenders enter, find a seat of their liking, and begin worship. 
For the first 15 minutes, children are with their parents. At the quarter hour (11:15), the children leave and join religious education class for the remainder of the hour.
After worship ends with handshakes at 12:00, we have about 30-45 minutes of social time with refreshments.
