Worship at Moorestown and Mount Laurel

Our worship takes the form of an unprogrammed, largely silent Meeting for Worship. Worship begins when the first person enters the meeting room and settles into silent worship.

We believe that, through silent prayer and meditation, each of us can communicate directly with God. Sometimes a Meeting for Worship will be entirely silent, but frequently individual worshippers feel called by God to share a question, an insight, or perhaps a prayer. We try to be open to such messages and to their spiritual promptings.

Worship ends when a designated member on the facing bench shakes the hand of a neighboring worshipper. We then all shake hands with our neighbors.

Following worship, visitors are introduced, announcements are made, and we then enjoy refreshments and fellowship in an adjacent room.

You will notice that we have no clergy, do not observe any sacraments or rituals and do not pass a collection plate.

If you have an interest in participating in a Meeting for Worship, we invite you to join us at either of our meetinghouses in Moorestown (Sundays at 10 a.m.) and Mount Laurel (Sundays at 10:30 a.m.). If you prefer, please contact the meeting office (856-235-1561) beforehand so that we can greet you as you arrive. Otherwise, simply come in and worship with us.
