Childcare: Meeting for Children is held on the 13th Floor on Sundays, 11:00-11:55 am
For in-person worship, Morningside Friends meet in the tower of the Riverside Church in New York City, which is located on Riverside Drive and 120th Street near Columbia University, where Harlem and the Upper West Side meet. (120th Street is also named Reinhold Niebuhr Place.)
We enter the church at the Claremont Avenue entrance at 91 Claremont Ave. From Riverside Drive, where the main entrance to the church is, walk one block east on 120 Street and turn left. The Claremont Avenue entrance is on the west side of the street.
Unencumbered by the need to attend to the upkeep of a physical home, we are free to devote our resources to outreach, and to concerns for peace and social justice. A significant portion of our annual budget is distributed, via our Peace and Social Concerns Committee, to a variety of organizations who work to improve the quality of life of those whom they serve. We tend to focus on small organizations, for whom our modest contributions will make a noticeable difference, and on organizations that serve the local community, regardless of their religious affiliation.
Business Meeting: Morningside Meeting holds a meeting for worship with a concern for business at 12:45 pm on the 1st Sunday of every month.
