Monthly Meeting of Friends of Philadelphia (Arch Street Quakers)
Invitation to Worship
UPDATE: Due to safety concerns, we continue to hold virtual Meeting for Worship via Zoom, twice a week (see below). We are holding in-person Meeting for Worship at 10:30 AM on Sunday mornings for fully vaccinated individuals with masks and social distancing required while in the meetinghouse and during meeting for worship. We look forward to welcoming others when circumstances allow.
Because of limited capacity due to physical distancing requirements, we request all friends with questions, or interested joining in-person worship - please read our guidelines and email the Clerk of Worship and Ministry prior to planning to attend in-person Meeting for Worship. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support. We are eager to have many new first-time visitors join us virtually!
Virtual Meeting for Worship
We meet together via Zoom on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 AM and on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 PM to share with each other and then settle in to silent worship from 6 to 6:30 PM. All are welcome! Click for instructions on how to join us for Worship.

Featured
You are invited to join us from 5:30 pm Eastern time (US & Canada) each Wednesday via Zoom. We greet each other, talk about concerns and joys until 6:00 pm when we sit quietly in unprogrammed worship for 30 minutes or longer if someone gives a message, says a prayer, sings a song. The message must come from the heart and be be brief, and be understood to fit in with the prayerfulness of the meeting; we have a chance to turn it into a discussion after the meeting is broken by the host saying "Good evening".
