Media Friends Meeting

09/07/2026

Amid the Trump administration's cruel efforts to target and deport Haitians, people of faith are rallying to defend and support their neighbors.

"Hundreds of volunteers — Baptists, Unitarian Universalists, Mennonites, Quakers and others — packed food boxes for Haitians in hiding, held phone drives asking elected officials to release the pastors and stood outside Haitian churches on Sunday morning to advocate for Haitians’ right to worship without fear.”

Happy Mother's Day to all the maternal figures in our community! Thank you for all the love and light you bring to our families.

Media Friends Meeting was honored to celebrate Mother's Day with two fun events! An Art and Worship Workshop celebrated the different forms of motherhood, led by Jan Hansen and Meg Barney (Clerk, Providence Friends Meeting). We created paintings, paper flowers, cards, and more for the mother figures in our lives!

Our Sunday, Quaker Religious Education event, was a Faith and Play Program on Margaret Fell, considered to be the Mother of the Religious Society of Friends. We learned the story of her witness and support for early Friends at Swarthmoor Hall. Her legacy lives on with us!

In the midst of an overwhelming world we invite you to come join us for an hour of
attentive stillness.

Worship in the manner of Friends (Quakers) is held in silence. We are not led by a hired minister, we come together trusting that the time of communal worship will allow us to draw closer to the "still small voice" within each of us and a source that is holding all of us. Worshippers may be moved to share a messages guided by the Spirit.

Quakers use God, Spirit, Truth, Seed, Light, as names that point to this source. We are part of the Christian landscape, but we have no formal sacraments, only guidelines and queries to help deepen and strengthen our journey as members of our faith community. Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship are helpful markers.

We welcome visitors to experience worship with us, Sundays at 10 AM, at 125 W 3rd St, Media, followed by refreshments and opportunities to participate in other activities. See our calendar of events at: https://mediafriendsmeeting.org/
