About Event

Event description

Join us for a day of worship, prayer, celebration, and discovery. Come together to explore the gifts and paths that our meeting's challenges have offered us the past year. Let’s see where Spirit is alive in our communities. 

This will be a full-day, hybrid gathering where Friends can gather in different ways: on site at Concord (NH) Meeting, in local clusters connected via Zoom, or individually via Zoom. 

We will reflect on the life in our local meetings to see where we can inform the Yearly Meeting on how to best support local meetings through programmatic priorities.

Together we will:

  • Dream together

  • Identify the resources meetings have to offer each other

  • Unpack themes in State of Society reports as well as trends from statistical reports

  • Explore what’s possible now

This meeting will be planned and hosted by the clerk of Ministry and Counsel, the clerk of the Meeting Accompaniment Group, and by the Program Director.

Participants can participate in this event on-site at Concord (NH) Meeting, via Zoom, or gathered with a local cluster connected via Zoom.

We are looking for volunteers who are willing to serve as event greeters and tech assistants. If you are interested in volunteering, email Nia (nia@neym.org).

Questions? Suggestions? To contact the gathering hosts, email Carl Williams (mc-clerk@neym.org)
