Fall Continuing Sessions, November 11, 2023

Friends of all ages are invited to attend Fall Continuing Sessions! Join us for a day of worship, community, youth programs and attending to the business of the yearly meeting. We will close out our year of focus on the theme: “Living with our neighbors, Growing into beloved community.” Meeting for business in the morning is a hybrid model; join in person at Arch Street Meeting house or from home. Youth programs and our intergenerational community program on living into our spiritual gifts is onsite-only after lunch. (Lunch provided at Arch Street Meeting House!)

Registration and a detailed schedule of events will be posted on the calendar event by early October.

What is Sessions?

Annual Sessions is one of the oldest Quaker traditions! Today, all over the world, yearly meetings gather once a year to bring together members and attenders from their local meetings. We call them “Sessions” because meeting for worship with attention to the business of the Yearly Meeting is central to these times together. Continuing Sessions are our one-day events on the second Saturday of November and March, where we attend to the continuing business of the Yearly Meeting and enjoy fellowship across generations. During all these times we ask: What is God’s big idea for PYM Friends?
