SUMMARY:PYM Annual Sessions - Online
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends\, \nIn 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. \nAlthough 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. \nWe will have more to share in the coming weeks. Be well and be safe\, Friends. \nQuestions? \n\nOlivia Brangan\, Community Engagement Coordinator\, obrangan@pym.org\nT.J. Jourian\, Events and Resources Coordinator\, tjjourian@pym.org\n\nCHILDREN’S and MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING FOR ANNUAL SESSIONS \nChildren’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. \nThe 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! \nAnnual 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.

SUMMARY:Climate and Justice Work of Monthly Meetings
DESCRIPTION:On July 11th\, Friends from across PYM met in a Plenary Session on Climate Change to consider what it would mean to adopt the EJC minute to make the climate crisis a Yearly-Meeting-wide witness/concern. While we must wait until a business meeting to adopt such a minute\, those present expressed an urgent desire to start working together right away on climate change and environmental justice. In our next webinar\, on Monday\, August 24th\, the Eco Justice Collaborative will host a panel of representatives from around the Yearly Meeting who will give us a view of what individuals and meetings are already doing. A Q&A session and breakout rooms will give all participants a chance to share ideas and network.\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://zoom.us/j/97813294124\nMeeting ID: 978 1329 4124\nOne tap mobile\n+19294362866\,\,97813294124# US (New York)\n  \nSee the event at its PYM page.
