Philadelphia Yearly Meeting:
343rd Annual Sessions
Join Us!
LIVING with our neighbors. GROWING into BELOVED Community
Wednesday, July 26 - Sunday, July 30
Online & at The College of New Jersey
Annual Sessions is one of the oldest Quaker traditions! Today, all over the world, yearly meetings gather once a year to bring together members and attenders from their local meetings. We call them “Sessions” because meeting for worship with attention to the business of the Yearly Meeting is central to these times together. During Sessions we ask: What is God’s big idea for PYM Friends?
Attend Online or Onsite
Online: Wednesday and Thursday of Annual Sessions are online only with Zoom.
Onsite: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are available at The College of New Jersey. We are joyfully returning to The College of New Jersey, just outside of Trenton. Stay on campus in the dorms, or come as a commuter.
Friday to Sunday at The College of New Jersey. Bring the whole family! Programs for young people entering K-12 in Fall 2023, and child care for the littlest Friends, are available onsite.
