Annual Sessions

Theme: ‘Hard-Earned Hope: Finding Our Way Together’

Join us on Zoom or in person for our 6th annual sessions.

In addition to three thought-provoking plenaries, we will celebrate the pastors who served our member meetings for many years: Mike Huber, Faith Marsalli, Clyde Parker, Lorraine Watson, and of course Bernie Bosnjak. Business sessions will include joyful recommendations for recording the gifts of Friends in public ministry.

We will also offer times for special interest/affinity groups to meet. Currently, the list includes a group for LGBTQ Friends and another for 12-step recovery Friends. If you'd like to attend another type of special interest/affinity group, email gathering@scymf.org.

We'll have workshops, and most importantly, we will worship together. Online registration will open soon.
