Retreat for Clerks of BYM Committees and Working Groups
The clerks of BYM Committees and Working Group’s– past, present, and future – are invited to gather for a day of worship and preparation for the new committee year. We will have time to worship, share information about the role and tasks of a clerk, and especially to share our knowledge and wisdom with each other. Please bring questions you’d like to explore, and insights about committee life and clerking to share. We will look at some of the nuts and bolts of clerking a BYM committee, including such different things as recognizing and nurturing gifts of committee members, as well as using internet and computer technology to connect with one another, and working with BYM staff. We will discuss and discern how to nurture our committees to keep them spiritually centered and vital as we serve our Yearly Meeting and Local Meetings.
Lunch will be provided – donations are appreciated. Please RSVP to Marcy Seitel at imclerk@bym-rsf.org.
