During worship we offer First Day School where adult leaders and young children explore together how Spirit helps us learn about God’s Love through free play, imagination, song, stories, art and more.
Following worship, we have informal fellowship with snacks.
Second Hour starts around 11:30. All are welcome to attend the Peace and Social Justice meeting. The focus will be discerning priorities for 2025.
Advice: Because Friends believe there is that of God in all people, we strive for a world of freedom, justice and equality for everyone. Believing that progress toward these ideals is advanced by those who devote themselves to the shaping of a just society, we urge Friends to be active and conscientious citizens. This means staying informed on social issues, and on the opinions and activities of our elected representatives and of those seeking office. It is important that Friends speak truth to those in power. We recognize that, in our world, power in government and private sectors lies disproportionately with those of economic means. Speaking out on a personal level in our communities may be difficult, even dangerous, yet by doing so we may encourage others to work for justice.” Taken From Faith and Practice of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting
Queries: Where are we drawn to learn and seek peace and justice in our world today? What are our leanings as individuals, and as a committee? What areas do we feel the Spirit is inviting us to work for peace and justice? Do we need to revise some of our Circles of Concern to reflect those?
