SUMMARY:October Quarterly Meeting at London Grove Friends Meeting
DESCRIPTION:London Grove Friends will be hosting Quarterly Meeting on October 21\, 2018\, with a special 200 year anniversary program. \nSchedule:\nRegistration 8:30 – 9:15  am\nChildren’s Program 9:15 – 11:30 am*\nWorship 9:30 – 10:30 am\nProgram: 10:45 – 11:45 am\nLuncheon: Noon – 1 pm\nMeeting for Business* following Lunch \nWe invite Meetings to share responses to the 9th Query–  Grounding for Transformed Lives: Peace and Alternatives to Violence \nAs has happened in the past (starting in 1757)\, Western Quarterly Meeting again will be hosted by London Grove Friends on third first day\, tenth month. As planned by a group of London Grove Friends\, an historical program will be enacted at rise of worship.\nOur first story will dramatize the (true but imaginatively embellished) trans-Atlantic courtship of Sarah Swain and Robert Lamborn. Their story allows us to reflect on the formation of Quaker families\, based on data recorded between 1722 and 1799.\nNext\, we will recall the Battle of the Brandywine. The Peace Testimony caused Western Quarter Friends to stand apart from their neighbors during the Continental Congress’ prosecution of the Revolutionary War.\nOur third dramatization speaks to the variety of opinions of how to end the institution of slavery that roiled monthly meetings in Western Quarter. Read aloud by a scholar of the life and times of Frederick Douglass\, we will learn Douglass’ intentions about a speech he gave on the porch of this meetinghouse in 1844.\nWestern Quarter Friends will not want to miss this program! We also invite interested members of the community (and their children) to join us for worship\, history lessons\, and lunch provided by London Grove Friends. Weather permitting\, there will be pony rides\, so the children can see how Quakers traveled to and from meeting in the 18th and 19th centuries. \n*Calling all children!\nDid you know that we are celebrating a BIG milestone this year? It’s the  200th birthday of the Meeting House at London Grove\, that was specially built to house Western Quarter! Let’s celebrate by creating an old-time festival for all of us to enjoy. We’ll have arts & crafts\, live music\, games\, food\, and a few surprises! We will need lots of  to help put it all together for the grownups\, so come to Quarterly Meeting in October and get ready for fun! \nOne more thing … please ask your grown up to bring along a quart-sized mason jar or large empty yogurt container (with lid). You’ll be making something yummy to take home and share with your family. \n  \n
