Takoma Park Friends Meeting-Preparative gathered on 1/19/2025 in the library of the Takoma Park Presbyterian Church. We heard and responded to the first set of queries on meetings for worship from Baltimore yearly Meeting’s Faith and Practice. We heard one person’s yearning for a better sense of the meaning of “expectant waiting.”

Tricia Crocker, treasurer, handed out budget year-to-date financial reports (attached) s of 12/15/2024 and 1/19/2025. We accepted these reports.

Arthur David Olson reported that notes on a second hour session on Faith and Practice changes on the environment had been sent to Adelphi’s climate action working group.

We heard, augmented, and approved these minutes. We adjourned, to gather next on 2/16/2025, or at the call of the presiding clerk.
