WILMINGTON YEARLY MEETING
July 25-28, 2024
Maryville Friends Meeting, Maryville, Tennessee
** FYI** ZOOM has been a great gift that allows us to gather though we are far apart and allows those unable to attend in-person to share in worship.
One gift not offered by zoom, however, is the experience of beautiful music. Singing and musical accompaniment do not synchronize across varying bandwidths of cyberspace, at least not given our current level of technology. Acknowledging this, WYM suggests that zoom participants turn down the volume on their individual computers when those at the meeting in-person are singing or music is played. If you prefer, of course, just listen to the bits and pieces of song that waft sporadically over the internet.
