The SEYM Worship and Ministry committee invites you to join us online for the Seeker’s Book Club, which will resume June 6th and meet the first and third Thursday of each month at 7pm via zoom.

The waves of our spiritual journeys come in all sizes, from the gentle lapping of a lake to breaking ocean surf. Each wave invites us into new revelation, deeper listening, seeing with new eyes, walking with faith despite the pulls of the surrounding culture. In these three online sessions, we will invite Friends into spacious times of exploration, sharing, and deepening our Quaker faith.

Join us in person or online for our Summer Executive Committee Meeting, where we will be hearing from committees and considering various issues that arise that cannot wait until fall. The EC is made up primarily of SEYM officers, clerks and committee clerks, but we welcome the participation of any SEYM Friends.

The SEYM Child Abuse Prevention Program (CAPP) training, which lasts about an hour, teaches basic best practices in caring for different youth age groups. It is designed to give Friends the tools they need to create a positive program environment, prevent and recognize bullying and other inappropriate behavior, and deal with conduct problems.

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matt. 11:28-30 (ESV)

Friends have always known the power of the Light to search, enlighten, and change us for better. Together, we will explore stories of spiritual transformation from Friends writings and the Bible. There will be opportunities to share how the Inward Light is transforming us in similar and different ways to the stories we look at.
