PYM Annual Sessions – Online
July 29, 2020 - August 2, 2020
Dear Friends,
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful discernment, the Sessions Coordinating Committee and the leadership of the councils of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting have thoughtfully and carefully decided that this year’s Annual Sessions (July 29 – August 2, 2020) will move to a virtual space in order to preserve the care and well-being of our community.
Although sadly we will not be together in a physical sense, there are many exciting opportunities before us for a spirit-led, fellowship-filled, and fun Annual Sessions. With blessings and support from the Sessions Coordinating Committee, members of the Community Engagement Team have begun looking at our options and capabilities to offer workshops as interactive video ‘gatherings’ online or at future events.
We will have more to share in the coming weeks. Be well and be safe, Friends.

CHILDREN’S and MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING FOR ANNUAL SESSIONS
Children’s Sessions is for rising K-Grade 5 and combines a “summer camp” experience and spiritual community for children with workshops, stories, art, and music.
The decision has been made to move Annual Sessions 2020 into virtual spaces, including Youth Programs. Children’s and Middle School Friends Sessions will have workshop time with the Resident Artist, the poet Zenaida Peterson, and make music with City Love. We’re cooking up ways to explore the theme “Using Your Voice!” together!
Annual Sessions is also a time for Families to be in community together in the Family Neighborhood and while we can’t reside there together this summer, we’ll offer a space for parents to gather online for support and fellowship, too.
