Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to Sunday worship at 11 am at 1501 Cherry Street, or join on Zoom by asking the office for the link..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Worship lasts about an hour and is held in silence, with no planned hymns or sermon. Anyone may stand to speak if moved to, and visitors are not asked to. Afterward there is a social time with refreshments.

Tips for your first visit

  • Plan on about an hour for worship, then stay for refreshments and conversation.
  • Zoom is an option if you would rather join from home; ask the office for the link.
  • Call 215-241-7260 or email office@cpmm.org about parking, entrances or accessibility, which the site does not cover.
  • Ask the office about children's classes before you bring children, since the site's dates are mixed.
