SUMMARY:Spring Continuing Sessions
DESCRIPTION:What is Sessions?\n\nAnnual Sessions is one of the oldest Quake
 r traditions! Today\, all over the world\, yearly meetings gather once a y
 ear to bring together members and attenders from their local meetings. We 
 call them "Sessions" because meeting for worship with attention to busines
 s of the Yearly Meeting is central to these times together. Continuing Se
 ssions are our one-day events on the second Saturday of November and March
 \, where we attend to the continuing business of the Yearly Meeting and en
 joy fellowship across generations. During all these times we ask: What is 
 God's big idea for PYM Friends?\n\nWe are Called to Healing- healing ourse
 lves\, our local communities\, and our world. At Spring Continuing Session
 s\, we will begin a year-long exploration of what healing means to us as F
 riends. March 8-10 we will attend to the continuing business of the yearly
  meeting and enjoy fellowship across generations. Go to the Philadelphia Y
