Dear Friend,
It was great to have so many new friends join us last month. I hope many of you will return, so that the new friendships between the kids can continue to grow.
This month we’ll be returning to Fair Hill Burial Ground, the environment we’ve chosen to support for 2013-2015. It’s a fun, welcoming place, and I can’t wait to go back. We’ll also have indoor space where we can go inside and warm up! Just RSVP to this email to confirm your space.
See you soon!
-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).
