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 only on select Sunday mornings for vaccinated members and recorded attenders of the MMFP faith community provided they wear a mask while in the Meeting House. We look forward to welcoming others when circumstances allow.
We request all friends with questions, or interested joining us for in-person worship - please email the Clerk of Worship and Ministry prior to planning to attend in-person Meeting for Worship. Thank you for your understanding - we are eager to have many new friends join us soon - as conditions allow. Meanwhile 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".
