Volunteering at Gwynedd

Attending worship and volunteering are the best ways to get acquainted with the Gwynedd community. There are many opportunities for volunteering without the long term commitment of membership on a committee.

Volunteers are needed to teach Youth Quaker Education classes on Sundays.

Family Promise of Montco PA (formerly Inter-faith Housing Alliance): Contact Marcia Wise at wise.marcia@gmail.com Gwynedd works with FPM-PA to support local families and children who are experiencing food insecurity and/or homelessness to access the resources they need. Food is collected and transported to their food bank and housing is supplied for about a month during the year in conjunction with other local faith groups.

American Friends Service Committee Sale (AFSC): Contact co-clerk Chris Mrozinski
AFSC is a flea market of donated, quality goods that raise money to support the (AFSC) projects here and abroad. Much help is needed to sort, display, sell and take down the sale.

Peace and Justice Vigil: Contact Judy Inskeep at inskeeps4peace@verizon.net

Welcome 1

Folks come to us looking for a spiritual home. Please visit. Quakers believe in the presence of God in everyone. Regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or reason, you will find a warm welcome from us.

In addition to our belief in that of God in everyone, we believe in direct communion with the Divine. In other words, Spirit speaks and guide us directly. Our worship is in silence as we wait expectantly for that connection.

In worship we gather in silence, quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and seek the source of love and truth in our lives. At times, Friends feel called to stand and speak a message given from the divine.

We eagerly welcome believers of all faiths as fellow members of God's universal community. Our Meeting for Worship service, Sundays at 9:30 AM, is open to everyone in person and on a Zoom link. We also have Worship on Wednesday evenings at 8PM on the same Zoom link.

We enter our worship rooms quietly. The worship begins as you enter in silence. There are no assigned seats. We do not have a pastor who leads us.

We Quakers bear witness to our core beliefs through direct action on a variety of social concerns, like housing the homeless, supporting food banks, and standing vigil for peace. We work locally, nationally, and internationally. Quakers often say, “Our service begins when worship ends.”
