YAF At-Home Spring Retreat 2020: In Light Together, Apart Week 5

Written on:

This series titled, “In Light Together, Apart” shares artwork of the attenders from the Young Adult Friend (YAF) retreat on May 15-16, 2020. The idea behind the retreat was to collaboratively create something that speaks to where young adult friends were at that time. The themes that emerged were: time, place, people, loss, change, searching, and reflection. The stories and art shared in this series reflect the feelings and opinions of the people who made them. YAF’s have been hosting weekly YAF worship services, and this week it will be on Sunday the 28th.

This week we feature art by Jen Schrandt of Haddonfield Monthly Meeting and Meg Rose of Central Philadelphia Monthly Meeting. Meg also serves PYM as our YAF Coordinator. This week’s story comes from Naomi Madaras.

Quaker Self Portrait: Birmingham Friends Meeting

Written on:

Every September Birmingham Friends gather for Worship around the fire pit at Westtown School, followed by a picnic. The children worship with us for 15 minutes and then hike around Westtown School’s lake. After a summer of vacations and time away, worshiping in nature is a great way to bring us back together and strengthen our community spirit by reminding us of our interconnection with nature and each other.
