Dear Friend,
It’s the first Junior Interim Meeting of the year, and we have a great Junior Interim Meeting plan- we’re going to Historic Fair Hill, a Quaker burial ground and beautiful nature filled area in North Philadelphia.
I’m very excited to be partnering with them, and I think we’re going to have a great time being useful in their space! I hope your kids can make it! It’s the beginning of the year, so everyone has to register. You don’t need to send a medical form if I have one on file from sessions, otherwise, please mail one or bring it with you.
-Benjamin

This year, Junior Interim Meeting will be visiting Historic Fair Hill in North Philadelphia. Fair Hill Burial Ground is a 300-year old Quaker burial ground, a site on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a beautiful, fenced, and well maintained 4.5-acres at 2900 Germantown Ave. in North Philadelphia. The Historic Fair Hill program has expanded with a new youth group, six community gardens, Saturday farm stand, head gardener, and volunteer gardeners.
Junior Interim Meeting will find a variety of ways to care for this environment- we will grow food in the gardens, keep it free of trash, tend the trees, ensure the birds and other animals are safe, and work alongside the Fair Hill Youth group, forming friendships in
the neighborhood. There will also be cookouts, games, and time for worship in the sacred spaces.

The 2013-2015 Children’s Priority
“The Children of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting are called to make the world a better place by finding fun ways to care for specific environments so that creatures living there can be healthy.”
Summer sessions was a wonderful space for discernment, and the kids there developed a fantastic 2 year priority for their programming. Read all of the epistles (messages from the assembled body).
