SUMMARY:Friends Experiment: Event Planning & Event Promotion
DESCRIPTION:When Friends come together\, great things happen.\n\nPhiladelphia Yearly Meeting is launching a new program called the Friends Experiment. During virtual gatherings spread across June\, Friends will come together to discuss topics important to their meetings and share their challenges and successes\, with the goal of learning from each other and collectively building a thriving yearly meeting. \nAfter completing each “experiment\,” we hope to learn and share the best ways Friends are addressing these topics with the wider body and potentially organize more gatherings like these in the future! \nThese gatherings are free and open to all PYM Friends\, so please consider registering for any or all of the dates and topics below. \n\nChildren’s Religious Education – June 14\, 2026 @ 7 pm\nFinance & Property – June 15\, 2026 @ 5:30 pm\nPastoral Care – June 17\, 2026 @ 1:00 pm\nSpiritual Action – June 22\, 2026 @ 5:30 pm\nAdult Religious Education – June 18\, 2026 @ 5:30 pm\nEvent Planning and Event Promotion – June 25\, 2026 @ 5:30 pm\n\nJoin Friends from across the yearly meeting and PYM’s Content Manager\, Isaac Garrison\, for a conversation on planning and carrying out a successful event with your meeting. This conversation is for Friends who want to share resources\, best practices\, and opportunities. Friends can share marketing strategies and ways they connected with their local community during the event planning process. \nFriends can also share how they hosted tables at community fairs\, planned menus for open houses\, gathered speakers for forums\, let people know about a food giveaway event\, and ensured accessibility to create a successful event. \n\nThere are so many roles we can play as members one of another\, so we hope that you will learn and grow alongside PYM Friends into a role that empowers you to lift up and support your faith community. \nPlease contact PYM at communications@pym.org with any questions. \n\n			\n				Register!
