What's New

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. While we recognize that this will not be the same as gathering in person, we feel it is the right course of action in this time of national emergency. Our hope is to make our virtual worship experience as simple and as close to normal as possible.

Meeting for Worship Suspended until Further Notice

As the dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the recommendations for response have become clearer, we find ourselves in a new situation which requires changes in our normal patter­­ns.  It is clear now that to “flatten the curve” of the surge in transmission of this virus, which will save lives, we must make bigger changes faster than we like.  Taking this in to account, starting March 15 Meeting for Worship at Central Philadelphia will be suspended until further notice We acknowledge and regret that COVID-19 will diminish our ability to meet in-person as a community for the near future.
