Spring Continuing Sessions | Members One of Another

Spring Continuing Sessions: Members One of Another

Spring Continuing Sessions invite us to come together as a body, recognizing the vital role each Friend plays in our shared spiritual life. Join us from home or at one of five monthly meetings hosting in person! Together, we will explore the new 2025 Sessions theme: Members One of Another.

In a time when division and polarization feel increasingly present, Members One of Another offers a counter-message. It encourages us to create spaces of inclusion and care—affirming the importance of belonging. The agenda for Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business and the intergenerational afternoon program invites Friends to attend to the continuing business of the yearly meeting while enjoying fellowship across generations.

Come Together with One Another

Spring Sessions is a special opportunity to gather in new ways! Friends are encouraged to research the locations below and discover which host meeting is closest to them. This is a wonderful chance to meet new Friends by journeying outside of your local meeting or Quarter.

Building our community by coming together speaks to the heart of our theme: Members One of Another. Friends are encouraged to attend the full day, but those who can only join for the morning business session or the afternoon community gathering are also welcome.

Saturday, March 9: All Together Worship

Three times a year, Friends across all four states in the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting region have the opportunity to join together for an online meeting for worship for all ages. All Together Worship happens from 10-11am on the Sunday morning of every Continuing and Annual Sessions weekend. We come together from meetinghouses and homes for an intergenerational, semi-programmed worship held in care by the Yearly Meeting elders and Presiding Clerk.

The Zoom link to join All Together Worship will be the same one being used for that Sessions weekend; individuals and meetings will receive it when they register for Sessions.
