Events Calendar

The Yearly Meeting will host a workshop for Clerks of Committees, beginning at 10am to 3pm. This will provide an opportunity to learn about the ways in which BYM office can help you, but also to talk together about the ways in which committee life can be spiritually nourishing – and get work done! Current, former, and maybe-in-the-future clerks are welcome. Tasha Walsh, Clerk of Interim Meeting, will facilitate the workshop. Please let Wayne Finegar at the office know if you plan to attend (admin@bym-rsf.org)

Family Camp Weekends at Baltimore Yearly Meeting Camp Properties offer us all a chance to come and enjoy our beautiful camp properties at a special time of year. Individuals and families are invited to come and enjoy the camps for a day or for the weekend. This fall, we will have a program coordinator at each weekend who will plan camp-type activities for Saturday and Sunday mornings, as well as Saturday afternoon and evening. These may include things like playing in the creek, a crafts project or hiking around one of the most precious places on earth. There will also be plenty of work projects to do! Work projects offer people with all kinds of skills the opportunity to enjoy some meaningful and satisfying work! We will enjoy meals together, have time to explore and even spend some time around a camp fire in the evening. Come and enjoy a camp experience, give the gift of your time, participate with children in activities and find yourself rejuvenated.

Baltimore Yearly Meeting and Friends General Conference invite you to Grow Your Meeting. This workshop empowers teams of Friends to create programs and opportunities within their home Meetings that focus on three important components of growth: inreach, outreach, and welcoming newcomers. Your Meeting’s team will leave ready to make a plan for initiating growth and vitality into the lift of the Meeting. The workshop is co-sponsored by FGC and BYM, with a fee of $100 per Meeting team (up to 3 Friends per team) and includes a resource toolkit, lunch, and dinner. To learn more, including registration instructions, see www.fgcquaker.org/grow-our-meetings.
