Worship Sharing

Wednesday Worship Sharing

Written on:

The tradition of gathering midweek has always been strong among Friends; Moorestown Friends Meeting’s current Wednesday time arose out of the early days of the pandemic, when many were seeking additional opportunities for reflection and connection. After exploring midweek worship with other PYM meetings over the last month or two, we’re continuing the Wednesday worship sharing for the next four weeks, in part to discern how this offering meets the needs of our local and broader community. Please join – or re-join – us for one or more of these Wednesday midweek breaks of worship and fellowship.

This week, we’ll sit together, online, in reflection on the query, “[H]ow do we testify to Integrity now? What is our witness today, in this time and in this place?” from Friend Shelley Cochran. All are welcome; click here to join or call 646-558-8656; use meeting #885 631 969.

The Door Within: Adult Religious Education

Written on:

Please join Moorestown Friends Meeting’s discussion of the third door, The Door Inward, from William Taber’s essay, ‘Four Doors to Meeting for Worship.’ Taber proposes that one way to enter a deeper experience of community worship is to imagine passing through a series of four stages, or doors; we discussed The Door Before in February and The Door Inward in March, and will reflect on The Door Beyond in May. Hard copies of this essay, Pendle Hill Pamphlet #306, are available from Pendle Hill for $7.50. All are welcome; click here to join, or phone 646-558-8656 and use meeting #785 699 478.

The Door Inward: Adult Religious Education

Written on:

All are welcome to join Moorestown F/friends for a discussion of William Taber’s essay, ‘Four Doors to Meeting for Worship.’ Taber proposes that one way to enter the deeper experience of community worship is to imagine passing through a series of four stages, or doors. This essay describes these doors and invites worshipers to explore their thresholds; we are considering them in a series of four adult religious education sessions. In March, we reflect on the second door, The Door Inward. We discussed The Door Before in February, and will reflect on The Door Within in April and The Door Beyond in May. Hard copies of this essay, Pendle Hill Pamphlet #306, are available from Pendle Hill for $7.50. Click here to learn and share with us on Sunday, March 21 at 11:15 am, or phone 646-558-8656 and use meeting ID 785 699 478.
