Keen to get involved, and play a role in the present and future of this historic congregation and property?  We'd love to have your support!

If interested in participating in any number of projects (including the 175th Anniversary Celebration of Byberry Hall, or mapping our burial grounds, or cataloguing our library collections), please do email us.

Alternatively, if you would like to help us financially with the building of the addition, or help to raise the funds necessary to match our Keystone Planning (and hopefully a future Keystone Construction grant), visit our "Donate" page.  We are ever so appreciative of all help and offers of time, talents and treasures!

New to Meeting for Worship? 


20190519 123547

If you've never attended a Meeting for Worship, we hope you will come worship with us -- give it a try.   

Many have found help in viewing the "introductory" videos (below) to answer questions that might arise in expectation of a Quaker Meeting for Worship.   



Most Quaker meetings, at least in this part of country, are so-called "unprogrammed" meetings.
This means that our meetings for worship are not led by a minister, but are largely conducted in silence.  Typically, a Clerk or other Member of the Meeting will close worship with a simple "Good morning friends" but otherwise the meeting may be completely silent. 

Members and attenders are always invited to speak out of the silence with a message about their spiritual journey, although messages are not responded to directly .

ripples

A message has been described as a pebble tossed into a pond.  The resulting ripples are received by others in the meeting and may contribute to their own spiritual journeys.
