An Evening with Jen Chapin

Jen Chapin
The Friends Folk Club is proud to announce a rare area performance by singer-songwriter Jen Chapin, on Saturday, April 9th at 7:30 pm.
Jen Chapin’s music is urban folk soul-story songs that search for community and shared meaning, powered by the funk and improvisation of the city.
“As the daughter of late folk legend Harry Chapin, it’s not surprising that Jen Chapin has taken so naturally to intricate storytelling through song.” ASCAP Playback
This is one event that is fun for all ages. Doors open at 7:00pm and starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $12 for adults, Children 12 and under are free. Refreshments are available at a reasonable price.
Proceeds from this concert will benefit the Oxford Friends Meetinghouse.
The Oxford Friends Meeting is a century old Quaker Meetinghouse with great acoustics, no bad seats, and that”spiritual vibe” only a historic space provides.
For more information: Call (610) 869-8076. The Friends Folk Club is an all volunteer-community run concert series.

FDS Converges again – at London Grove 3/15

Join Us for  a Treasure Hunt! 

Did you know our host Meeting has been here for 300 years?? It’s true! This convergence will feature programs for all ages at London Grove, under the theme “Quakers for 300 Years.” Elementary ages will enjoy a treasure hunt for a hidden set of boxes (outdoors, weather permitting), and exploration and discussion of the contents. Younger children will also enjoy an outdoor activity as well as an indoor program.

Older children (middle & high school) are invited to join some special young guests, and learn more about Quaker work camps. A group of Lancaster Meeting’s young Friends have prepared a well-received presentation about their recent experience on a William Penn House Quaker Work Camp in Washington, DC, and they are excited to share how such a service project also included fellowship, fun, worship and reflection.

Parents are invited to join the other adults in Worship and discussion (Bible Class) while the children meet. All participants are invited to share a simple soup lunch after the programs.

We need to know you are coming!

Please RSVP by March 8th.  Email: coordinator@westernquarterquakers.org  and tell us to expect you.
