Summer Sessions is the largest annual gathering of New York Yearly Meeting Friends and is the reason why our group is referred to as a “Yearly Meeting.” We gather to worship, play, learn, conduct business, and have fellowship. A Quaker community is created during our time together, and many find this to be a powerful and joyful experience. Summer Sessions is open to anyone who is Quaker or Quaker-curious in NY, CT, NJ, and beyond. https://nyym.org/session/summer-sessions-2024

Saratoga Friends Meeting
Approved December 3, 2023
Saratoga Friends Meeting affirms our belief in the presence of the Spirit in each person, and we welcome everyone. We are dismayed at the current wave of legislation that seeks to deprive transgender and non-binary people of basic human rights and health care. We encourage legislation protecting the rights, safety, and human dignity of these people, as indeed of all people.
