INTERMOUNTAIN YEARLY MEETING

July 2024

Dear Friends, 

Thank you for joining together at the fiftieth anniversary IMYM Annual Gathering 2024! A total of 181 Friends, of all ages, gathered online and in-person at Fort Lewis College in beautiful Durango, Colorado. This year we worshiped, shared, listened, and learned, we laughed, cried, and hugged, and we found comfort among Friends from Arizona Half Yearly, Utah Friends, Colorado Regional, New Mexico Regional, and Quaker Organizations from far and wide. Barry Crossno, FGC General Secretary, observed and shared a presentation on faith and change as part of the Way Forward for IMYM. Old favorite community events like Creativity Night, Contra Dance, and Sing-along were enjoyed just as much as new experiences like flying kites for Gaza, meals with Quaker Organizations, Friendly Circles, and Spaces for movements, music, and crafts. A BIG thanks to all of the volunteers that served with heart and spirit to make Annual Gathering 2024 'one for the books'. 

Please continue to check back here for:

• Summer Newsletter
• 2024 Document Archives
• Plenary Records and Zoom recordings of plenary sessions (including Barry Crossno's presentation) 
• and more Gathering Resources
  

And now, here is the 2024 Evaluation of Annual Gathering 2024. 

You can complete the evaluation on your cell phone OR desktop.

You may edit your answers, skip any question you do not want to answer, and if you need assistance or would like to share any additional information you can contact online@imym.org. 

gathering and discerning feedback, or “data” if you will, is an important spiritual practice. The evaluation holds space for our community, it allows us to seek inclusion and unity, and it helps us all understand what is alive for us as Quakers. Please, dear Friends, use the evaluation to tell YOUR story; what matters to you, what do you need to feel more connected, more seen, more cared for?

Here's hoping for many stories from Friends.
