Here you can find the latest happenings in the Meeting 

Join us every First Day (Sunday) for meeting for worship at 11:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom, and  for midweek meeting on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. (in person only).

Sunday, June 22 - "Learning to Live in a Changing Climate" series! Speaker: Robin Hoy. At 2:00 p.m., "Aligning Our Food Choices with Climate Goals." Free. Light refreshments will be served.

Monday, June 23 - Non-Violence Peacekeeping Training, from 6:30-8:30 at Middletown Friends Meetinghouse,  Free. With so many protests taking place in our community and throughout the nation on the horizon comes the threat of counter-protesting. Be as prepared as possible if/when confronted by counter-protesters or agitators who show up to disrupt the peace. Verbal conflict can quickly escalate to violence, so join us to learn some strategies to keep everyone as safe as possible.

This two-hour workshop will look at several situations where the crowd could have intervened for a peaceful outcome. We will also practice how to respond when faced with similar situations.

Facilitator: Barbara Simmons is the former executive director of The Peace Center and taught at Arcadia University's International Peace and Conflict Resolution program for 20 years. She is a peacekeeper for the Rainbow Room in Langhorne and for various protests and events throughout the Philadelphia region.

Meeting will provide coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and juice.  Donations of sweets, breads, and fruit will be appreciated.  If you would like to sing or play an instrument at future social hours, please let Pat Mervine know. All are welcome!
