- May 24 – “We Are All Ministers” with a context of all of us have a place in building our community spiritually, with practical help and service, and in fellowship. From first-time visitors to decades-long members, we can all contribute something to our community at Tacoma Friends Meeting. Here’s a query for your consideration in preparation for this thoughtful discussion, “What do I most value when I consider what kind of community I want to belong to and how can I help create such a community?” Facilitated by Verna Lilly.
- June 28 – “Engagement on Land Stewardship Projects” – Continue discerning and deciding on what projects Tacoma Friends will do now and what we are led to work toward for the future. Facilitated by Chris Ferguson.
