GIANT Children’s Meeting!

Written on: May 23, 2021

Giant Children’s Meeting! 4th Sundays at 9:00 am though May 2021

Join Friends and Families from across the Yearly Meeting for a monthly religious education program. It’s “giant” because everyone is invited! It’s “children’s meeting” because we’re making a space to nurture the spiritual lives and Quaker identity of young people. We hope this online community will support families and the Friends offering children’s programs in their meeting; the 9:00 start is intended to allow folks to attend worship in their own meeting later that morning.

Each 30-45 minute program is for preschool and elementary-age children and their families. Each time will feature a theme and seasoned facilitators leading us through grounding, exploring, wondering, and creating.

  • February 28: Giving Love Everywhere
    Bring something to share that you have made with your hands! 

  • March 28: Growing Our Community
  • April 25: Caring for Our World
  • May 23: Standing in the Light

Register below to receive the Zoom link to join! A welcome email with Zoom link will be send on the Thursday before each Sunday program.

*If a meeting would like to share the Zoom information directly to families in your meeting, please contact the Youth Religious Life Coordinator, Melinda, directly: mwennerbradley@pym.org
