Many thanks to our host, West Philadelphia Friends Meeting for sharing your gifts with the Philadelphia Quarter Meeting! West Philadelphia Friends Meeting is a preparative meeting under the care of Green Street Monthly Meeting. Preparative meetings are a unique type of worship group in the Friends tradition, and we can all learn a great deal by learning more about them.

WPFM is known for its value of its special quality of worship, unique flavor of friendship, and both its intimate size and extended network of friends who travel across states and countries.
