Middle School Friends: Food, Fuel, and Fun! (Labor Day)
Posted on Aug 12 | 12:00 PM
 Sharing food with another person is one of the most basic blessings we can take part in. Not all food is created equal and you'd often be surprised where the food you eat comes from. Most importantly, the food we eat builds relationships not only with the people we eat it with, but the people who make it. At this gathering we will spend time on a historic Quaker farm, riding solar powered tractors, learning about how our food gets to our table, offering a bit of service in the gardens, cooking and eating food together, and taking a look at the role that food plays in Quakerism, Christianity, and other faiths.

ArtsOnCherry - A Visual Representation of Spirituality
Posted on May 03, 10 | 12:32 pm
 On Thursday evening, April 29, 2010, approximately 35-40 Friends gathered to celebrate the Artists’ Preview Reception held in the PYM offices at Friends Center. Featuring the work of twenty Quaker artists, this first ArtsOnCherry Exhibit and Sale will continue through September, 2010.
Jan Hatchard, Director of Development for PYM, was inspired to organize Arts on Cherry, after the very successful "Arts on Arch" event she organized recently at Arch Street Meeting House. Jan became aware of the fact that many Friends express their spirituality through art. As she explains it, “It’s a visual representation of spirituality that we can all share in”.
