Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather forecast for this Sunday afternoon, we will need to cancel our picnic. With additional inclement weather expected the following weekend, we’ve made the decision to cancel this year’s picnic  altogether rather than try to reschedule again.
We’re sorry we won’t get to gather together this year, but we’re grateful for your understanding and look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s picnic!
Stay dry and take care!

 

Join Philadelphia Quarter Friends for a day of worship, fellowship, and connection outdoors at Friends Southwestern Burial Ground. We’ll gather for Meeting for Worship, share a catered lunch together, and spend the afternoon exploring topics related to burial grounds and property stewardship. Friends involved in caring for meeting property and those interested in these topics are especially encouraged to attend.
