Faith & Practice Study Group The Faith and Practice Study group had its first meeting in September and will continue to meet in the Library on the third Wednesday of each month from 7:30-9:00 p.m. to share insights, fascinations, and learning from reading Faith and Practice.

Benefit Pasta Dinner FEP, The Friends Enrichment Program of Moorestown Friends Monthly Meeting, will host a pasta dinner for the benefit of FEP and MEND, Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood Development. The dinner will be held in the D’Olier Room of the meetinghouse, on Sunday, March 21, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. It will be open to the general public. For this project to succeed, FEP will need the help and support of the Meeting and of local churches, as well as the help and support of members of the Board of Directors of MEND. We will need people to contribute pasta dishes to our buffet table and to help FEP publicize the event. Half of the proceeds will go to FEP and will help fund scholarships for Moorestown children in financial need to attend summer camp, enroll in art classes or sports clinics, or take music lessons. The other half will go to MEND and will help maintain and expand the Burlington County supply of affordable housing for a growing number of families and individuals in need of a decent and safe place to call home. Anyone interested in helping FEP prepare for this event should call the Meeting Office at 856-235-1561

Meeting for Worship Resumes at the Burlington Meetinghouse
While the Burlington Monthly Meeting was laid down in 1991 (and a new Conference Center was opened in 1995), a Worship Group has recently been formed under the care of Trenton Monthly Meeting and Friends are now worshipping in the Burlington Meetinghouse again every Sunday at 10 am. If you have friends or relatives who live in the vicinity of Burlington who might be interested in worshipping with us and learning more about Quakerism, please encourage them to join us. Many Quakers and visitors from throughout the area have been moved by this unique historical Quaker worship experience. The Meetinghouse (built in 1783 and recently restored) is located in the heart of the Burlington Historical District at 340 High Street, a half block from the RiverLine light rail train stop and just a short walk from the Delaware River. For more information, go to www.pym.org/burlington-qm/burlington.htm. Visitors are warmly welcomed.
