Notes to Friends
Saturdays 12:00 p.m. - Please join us in a Peace Vigil at noon on Saturdays on the West Lawn of the Capitol. Look for the blue banner, "Seek Peace and Pursue It. --Psalms 34:14" The vigil lasts one hour and is much like a Meeting for Worship with the silence occasionally broken by questions from tourists and the responses that some vigilers are led to offer.
September 12, Sunday –First Day School begins and children are invited to attend. They will leave the Meeting at 10:50 a.m.
September 12, Sunday 6:30 p.m. - Working to End Child Marriages – discussion and potluck at William Penn House. Margaret Greene, PhD will discuss child marriage as a global problem.
