Midweek Quaker Meeting for Worship at Penn State (101 Pasquerilla / Eisenhower Chapel)

 https://www.facebook.com/share/1Cuf9mvjt3/

Please join us on Sunday, October 19 at 1:00 when, as part of our meeting’s centennial celebration, Doug Miller will briefly describe the three Centre County Friends meetings which preceded ours, including the history of their cemeteries. He will then share highlights of our meeting over the past one hundred years since its first meeting for business in 1925. This will be a hybrid program in the meeting room.
Join us on Zoom.

Rally and march will be 12-2 pm starting at the PSU Old Main Lawn: www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/839515/. SCFM is inviting those with mobility limitations, and anyone who may be interested, to the meetinghouse. The speeches will be live streamed to the social room, while people in the meeting room will hold the protesters and country in the Light. Doors will open at 11 in case anyone wants to stop in to get grounded before going to the event.  If possible, Friends attending the rally are asked to wear a "This is what a Quaker looks like" shirt or other light blue shirt. 

Climate Racism

On Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 7:00, Adult RE will host Jackie Bonomo on Zoom for a program about Climate Racism. Please join us for this evening of reflection and discussion as we explore climate racism—how systemic racism intersects with the climate crisis. We’ll begin with guiding questions and short video clips to help define the topic, followed by a group discussion. The program will also include a global perspective on who produces and who suffers from carbon emissions, a visual map of this imbalance, and powerful footage from affected communities around the world and in Pennsylvania. We’ll close with time for questions, reflections, and silence.

September 28, 10:15, Join Adult RE at the Meetinghouse for a worship sharing about the query, “How do you define a leading? Have you ever experienced a leading? What was your experience?” Families are welcome!

For the last 10 years our gardening committee has been working on restoring our grounds to a more natural habitat by converting lawn to pollinator plants and native trees and bushes. We also are finding ways to live out our Quaker testimonies and beliefs in our gardens through supporting a community garden and a medicinal plant garden. Dorothy Habecker, clerk of the gardening committee, will talk about how our committee’s vision for the gardens is connected to our spiritual lives as Quakers, and also the healing of our earth. There will be an optional tour of the grounds following the program.
