2024 Yearly Meeting Gathering Photo Gallery
About 100 Friends gathered at Dayspring Conference Center in Parrish, Florida over Easter week, March 27 – 31 for our Yearly Meeting Gathering. We had a rejuvenating 5 days of community, with worship, worship sharing, workshops, All Ages Community Nights, the Walton Retreats & Lecture with Hilary Burgin, yearly business meeting, nature walks, and a great Youth Program!
Many thanks to our photographers: Hilary Burgin, Beverly Ward, Kathy Hersh, Riley Robinson, Gary Evans, Brian Olson, and Bill and Vicki Carlie.
