 Welcome
to Swarthmore Friends Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends!
We
are a Quaker community of spiritual seekers with a foundation in silent
worship.
Our Meeting for Worship is held every Sunday morning from 10:00 to
11:00 a.m. All are welcome to attend. Our worship experience
nurtures the bonds within our membership, helps speak to the needs of
seekers, and supports our testimonies on peace, justice, the
environment, and other social concerns. We provide nursery care for young
children and First Day (Sunday) School for older children during Meeting
for Worship. The children frequently join the adults for the last
fifteen minutes of Meeting for Worship. A small, but enthusiastic group
of us gather for hymn singing at 9:30 a.m. During the school year, a
student breakfast is served at 9:30 a.m. After Meeting we have light refreshment.
Often we hold Forums and Seeker's Sessions providing
adult religious education on Quaker history, spiritual life, and our
testimonies after our fellowship time.
Like other "unprogrammed" Quaker Meetings, we have no clergy; our
members and attenders take responsibility for the life and work of the Meeting.
