 Directions to Swarthmore Meeting

All are welcome to attend!  Is this your first time to our Meeting? Please click here for New Visitor Information.

We provide Nursery care for young children and First Day School (Religious Education) for older children during Meeting for Worship.  A small but enthusiastic group of us gathers for Hymn Singing at 9:30 a.m. around the piano in the Meetinghouse.

Our worship experience supports our Testimonies on peace, justice, the environment, and other social concerns.  After Meeting we have light refreshments and often hold Forums and Seeker's Sessions. The latter provides adult religious education on Quaker history, spiritual life, and our Testimonies.

Like other "unprogrammed" Quaker Meetings, we have no clergy; our members and attenders take responsibility for the life and work of the Meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Titus, Meeting Secretary at (610) 328-8699 or email:

To learn more about Quakerism and the varied activities of Friends, you can explore these links to other web sites. We are fortunate to have Pendle Hill, the Quaker Center for Spiritual Growth, within walking distance from the Meetinghouse.

Please browse our Newsletter and calendar of events. We hope to see you soon at Meeting some Sunday!
