    • 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?

    • Prior to Annual Session, Friends will have the opportunity to join virtually for three preparatory activities:  

      • Friday, June 27: Join us for a session with PYM’s representatives to our sister organizations; AFSC, FCNL, Friends Peace Teams, and FWCC, who will share more about their work and collaborations.

      •  Saturday, June 28: A session highlighting PYM Collaboratives is being offered; the collaboratives include Addressing Racism, Eco-Justice, First Contact Reconciliation, Friends Ending Gun Violence, and the Spiritual Formation Collaborative.

      • Wednesday, July 16: Budget Q&A with Tom Zemaitis, PYM Treasurer, and the Incoming CFO, David Park. They will offer an overview of the budget with be presented for approval at Annual Sessions.
