GIANT Children’s Meeting!
Giant Children’s Meeting! 4th Sundays at 9:00 am though May 2021
NOTE: This is our final Giant Children’s Meeting for now, and they will resume in September!
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.

Please join Moorestown Friends Meeting’s discussion of the third door, The Door Inward, from William Taber’s essay, ‘Four Doors to Meeting for Worship.’ Taber proposes that one way to enter a deeper experience of community worship is to imagine passing through a series of four stages, or doors; we discussed The Door Before in February and The Door Inward in March, and will reflect on The Door Beyond in May. Hard copies of this essay, Pendle Hill Pamphlet #306, are available from Pendle Hill for $7.50. All are welcome; click here to join, or phone 646-558-8656 and use meeting #785 699 478.
FGC Consultation: Spirit and Community Online
In the past year we have learned a lot about how to gather online as a community. Yearly Meetings, Quarterly and Monthly Meetings, and other Quaker organizations have been working to create community online and to find ways to allow Spirit to move us. As we transition from an all online world to a blended in-person and online one, it seems valuable to come together to share our learnings.
Earlham School of Religion offers a New Graduate Certificate
Earlham School of Religion has a new graduate certificate: Spiritual Formation.
This 6-course certificate is designed for individuals with undergraduate or graduate degrees in many different fields who want to explore a Seminary education rooted in Quaker thought and practice, without committing to a degree program: new retirees, career changers, those seeking vocational discernment, and others in the midst of transition. The required courses are core courses of the MDiv degree; the certificate can be applied toward the MDiv once finished.
