For the second year in a row, members of Cropwell Meeting in Marlton, N.J. ,had a table at the popular Marlton Day Festival . Hundreds of area visitors ambled up and down Main Street taking in vendors, food trucks, live music and community organizations. It was a beautiful day, if a little windy.
The Cropwell Friends table included snacks, juices, and giveaway fidget toys for kids; the dog water bowls were very popular with the canine set. Eight Cropwell regulars staffed the table on and off for the four-hour event.
Something new this year is a flyer inviting people to visit next weekend, when the meeting plans to show an introductory QuakerSpeak video after the rise of worship. A fair amount of passersby at Marlton Day expressed interest in visiting โsome dayโ and it is hoped that this opportunity might convince them to make that day next Sunday.
Cropwell Quaker Meeting is a small-but-growing Friends community in Marlton/Cherry Hill NJ. Come join us for public worship every Sunday at 10am. At Cropwell we treasure our friendliness, our desire for a community grounded in the Holy Spirit, our in-person worship, and our genuine desire for new members. We try to have special events every month, such as introductions to Quakers, speakers demonstrating Quaker faith in action, or all-ages crafts. Learn what to expect if you visit.
