Meeting for Discernment July 23, 2013

The queries for morning and afternoon session were the same: 

What does it mean to be faithful as individuals?  As a gathered body?

What does faithfulness mean for a meeting? 

The morning session began at 10:15 and went until noon, with Junior Yearly Meeting joining for the last 20 minutes of the morning session.  The afternoon session was from 1:45 until 4:00.  Morning session entries are 1-15, the rest are from the afternoon.
