Dear Friends,
Public
Dear Friends,
We have just updated our attendance and mask policy for in-person Worship as our monthly meeting (like the rest of our country) continues to respond to changing conditions of the pandemic.
  • In-person: MMFP welcomes vaccinated members and attenders of the MMFP faith community* to worship on First Day provided they wear a mask. We look forward to welcoming others when circumstances allow. 
  • Both in-person and online Meeting for Worship will continue on Sundays at 10:30 - at least until 9/5/2021. 
Public

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".

In his article (link above), MMFP member Paul Laskow explains the stewardship of a historical trust under the care of the monthly meeting, originally intended for Black students at Anthony Benezet's school. Benezet was a member of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting in the late eighteenth century.
