Bucks Quarterly Meeting

That there is that of God in everyone and each person is capable of a direct and unmediated experience of the Spirit. This inward experience of God transforms us and leads us into outward expressions of faithful living, witness and action. Our understanding and experience of God’s truth is continuing and ongoing and is nurtured and enlarged by being in community with one another.

Mercer Street Friends

Mercer Street Friends was founded in 1958 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) who were witnessing the migration to Pennsylvania suburbs and recent flood affecting the economics of the Trenton community and its impact on residents. The founding volunteers responded by renovating a 100-year old meeting house no longer used for worship, located on Mercer Street in the Mill Hill section of Trenton, and turning the facility into a community center for neighbors in need.
