Wednesday Meeting for Worship
Friends from the Monthly Meeting of the Friends of Philadelphia
Gather
in Philadelphia where the American Revolution started, and where
cool heads wrote the Constitution of the United States of America. In
pre-pandemic, we met at the 4th and Arch Street meeting house, which was
built over a Revolutionary War graveyard (very likely I have relatives
who were buried there); currently we meet by Zoom, and you are invited.
You
are invited to join us from 5.30 pm Eastern time (US & Canada) each
Wednesday. 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". All are welcome to give messages that come from the light of
God that lives inside us all. Only one, we listen in silence and do not
respond verbally. If you have something to say that does not seem to you
to be an inspired message, you will be invited to share it at the rise
of meeting for worship.
Send
message to SJ Dodgson (scroll down for contact information) if you
would like to join us on a Wednesday. All are invited, and warmly
welcomed.
