LEYM Representative Meeting
March 9, 2024 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Business from 10-12pm and 1-3pm. This representative meeting, we’ll hear about what’s going on in committees (including a preview of what’s percolating for June’s annual meeting!). We’ll also be making time to dive into our structures. Like many monthly meetings, we know that our slate, and the requirements around it, no longer is appropriate for the current shape and size of the organization. These questions can provoke nervousness, concern, and excitement: it’s an opportunity to slough off our old skin and discern innovations. How might we re-consider leadership roles? How can we best align energies with possible ministries? We want your input for the yearly meeting, and the session may also be useful for people who are considering these same questions in their monthly meeting.

Spiritual Companioning Opportunity
March 17, 2024 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
LEYM Friends engaged or interested in the practice of Spiritual Companioning gather online at 3-4:30 pm on the third Sunday of odd-numbered months
If you currently have a concern you're sitting with or working on and would welcome and enjoy support with this work, please consider joining LEYM friends as we come together bi-monthly to use a format of spiritual companioning to support us in our specific work and concerns.
This isn't a call to spiritual companion groups. It is a call to meet to explore ways of supporting concerns - with worship sharing, followed by collectively companioning with a specific focus person. The possibility of interest in a companion group is always an option to further deepen the practice.
If you have questions, please contact Barbara LeSage (North Columbus, barbaralesage@hotmail.com), Cassie Cammann (Ann Arbor, cassie.cammann@gmail.com), Mark Hoover (Ann Arbor, mhoover@umich.edu), or Joann Neuroth (Red Cedar, jneuroth@gmail.com).
