Each year, Sandy Spring Friends’ Ministry & Counsel Committee is responsible for preparing the annual Spiritual State of the Meeting Report, which is considered and approved by the monthly meeting and forwarded to Baltimore Yearly Meeting each Spring. We welcome the input of the whole meeting community as we prepare this report. Please plan to offer your insights in person or on zoom. 

Sunday Jan. 19, 10 a.m. in person: Please join the M and C committee for conversation before 11 a.m. worship. In the community house.

Sunday, January 26 at 10 a.m. in person. Please join the M and C committee for conversation before 11 a.m. worship. In the community house. 

We will consider these queries:

1. How does the Spirit prosper among you?

2. In what ways are we tenderly eldering and educating adults and children in the manner of Friends to deepen our Vocal Ministry?

3. How do we maintain the spirit of openness and humility as we proclaim our testimonies and live them?

4. As we work for peace, are we nourished by peace and justice within and among ourselves and in our nation?

Committees and individuals are invited to respond to the queries in writing as well. Please submit your responses to Barb Platt (jrbp47quaker@gmail.com) or Mark Roush (markroush@gmail.com) by Jan. 26.
