What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

You’ll discover a warm, unhurried space where you can pause, breathe, and encounter God in the quiet. Our gatherings center on listening—both to Scripture and to the still, small voice that speaks to each of us. We value authenticity over perfection, community over performance, and connection over ceremony.
Every week offers opportunities to grow in faith, serve alongside others, and cultivate relationships that last. From worship and prayer to service projects, small groups, and community events, there are many ways to engage at your own pace.
We believe a church should feel like family—supportive, encouraging, and grounded in love. Here, we celebrate joys together and carry one another through challenges, trusting that God meets us in every season. Our hope is that you’ll find Danville Friends to be a place where your faith can deepen and your spirit can rest.
Whether you’ve been part of a faith community for years or are stepping into church life for the first time, we welcome you with open hearts. Come as you are, bring your questions, and explore the presence of God among people who genuinely care. We would be honored to share in your story and journey forward with you.
