As the first anniversary of my hire at FWCC approaches, I am reflecting on all of the new experiences I've had, both as a worker and as a Quaker. From reviewing a complex budget to meeting new Friends near and far, it has been a challenging and enlightening time for me. I have had the chance to learn new skills and to loosen some of the rigid notions I had about the Religious Society of Friends. 

As I start to find my thread in weaving the tapestry, I look forward to many more new experiences and conversations with representatives and supporters of our work. The Section Meeting in 2017 is starting to take shape - read below and check our Events page for more information! And our upcoming seri

es of QuakerSpeak videos will kick off later this month.

I feel grateful for the chance to connect with Friends across the Americas, and I hope that you, too are finding something in FWCC's work to be thankful for - whether it's a new perspective on Quaker thought today, or the chance to gather with Friends at an FWCC event.
