Boats that Float: Creating Meetings that Nurture Us
Join us at Lazy F Camp for the fall session of PNQM Quarterly Meeting.
As we gather for Fall Quarterly, Friends are invited to explore what is most critical to maintain, grow, and protect within our Meetings as many of us rebuild after the challenges of COVID-19.
What nurtures our youngest Friends will be different to what nurtures visitors; how a long-time Member and a new regular Attender nurture the Meeting in return will be different, too.
What we each find is essential in a Meeting community may change for us throughout our lives. As some Friends depart, others may join the Meeting and bring new gifts to make the community whole in a new way. The future we want for Pacific Northwest Quarterly Meeting is one we must discern – and create – together.
Taking inspiration from a beloved tradition of our youth program, groups of Friends of all ages will work on building boats out of recycled and natural materials as an embodied way of exploring what is important in a community.
Details about what happens at Quarterly, schedule, safety guidelines for Covid concerns, registration, and much more are available on the website https://pnqm.org.
If you have not attended PNQM in person for a long time, recall the joy of being able to connect with Friends. If you have never been to PNQM, ask those in your meeting who have fond memories of Lazy F and their experiences at Quarterly to tell you about the opportunities for worship and fellowship they enjoyed.
If you have children of any age, we encourage you to come as a family and help them meet new friends and reconnect with those they only see at Quarterly.
Camping is an option, and many families find Lazy F a great opportunity to introduce young children to sleeping in a tent.
