On August 3, 2002, Patapsco Friends Meeting became a "monthly meeting" under the care of Chesapeake Quarterly Meeting and Baltimore Yearly Meeting. Yes, we do meet for worship every week; "monthly meeting" refers to how often we meet for business. We began meeting in November 1996 as a worship group under the care of Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting of Friends. In January 1999 Sandy Spring Monthly Meeting established us as a preparative meeting. We are associated with Friends General Conference and Friends United Meeting.
