Welcome

We worship every first day (Sunday) beginning at 10:00 AM. We sit in silence for 50 minutes, and then, in the last ten minutes, the children who had been in child care join us, and if anyone has a reflection or message that did not rise to be delivered during the first 50 minutes, we invite anyone to give a message at this time. 

If you are not able to join us in person, but would still like to worship with us, we also provide a Zoom link. Contact the clerk for the link (goshenmm@gmail.com).

Child care is provided during Meeting for Worship. Everyone who provides child care has their PA State Clearances.

At 11:00 AM, we gather informally in the West Room (kitchen area) for light refreshments and socializing.

Other monthly events:

The second Sunday of the month at 9:30 AM: we gather for thirty minutes before Meeting for Worship for “Opening Sessions:” an opportunity to learn about or reflect on a particular aspect of Quakerism. All are welcome! We also have the opportunity to attend through Zoom. Contact the clerk for the link (goshenmm@gmail.com). Child care is provided.

On the third Sunday of the month at 11:30 AM: we have a Monthly Meeting for Business (a meeting for worship during which business is considered). This is also available to attend with a Zoom link (contact the clerk at goshenmm@gmail.com for details).
