Your first visit

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

First step: Come to worship on the first or third Sunday at 10:30 am, entering from 48th Street and going upstairs to the Samaritan Room, or join from home using the Zoom link posted on the website..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Worship lasts one hour, from 10:30 to 11:30 am, and it is silent, so you can sit and listen. The site does not say whether visitors are expected to speak, or whether anyone greets people at the door. No cost is listed.

Tips for your first visit

  • Arrive a few minutes early so you have time for the stairs to the Samaritan Room.
  • If stairs are a problem, join by Zoom, since the listing says the meeting room is not wheelchair accessible.
  • Call 267-405-2302 or email wpfmclerk@gmail.com to ask about access before you go.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Worship is open to the public at a set time, with a room and a Zoom option, but the site does not describe a welcome for newcomers and the yearly meeting listing has no first-visitor notes..
