News & Announcements
Friends-
The Committee on Worship and Ministry of Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting is pleased to announce that, in support of our Meeting community, we will be offering a weekly online Meeting for Worship at 11 am on Sunday mornings.

Our hope is to make our virtual worship experience as simple and as close to normal as possible.
