Quakers want our children and young people to feel full members of our community. Our current group contains regulars, children who come when they can, and occasional visitors.
Children’s meeting tries to cover Quaker thinking and tradition, the Christian tradition and other faiths, social concerns and our life together as a community. Different Quakers take each class so there is a variety of approach, under one very loose theme for the quarter. We aim for a good balance between listening, talking and doing and we try hard to be fun!
We also meet up outside Sunday morning. Children enjoy Singing Sunday and socials - the children’s committee meets as a mixed age group - and we have had expeditions to see Chronicles of Narnia, to the Alexandra Palace fireworks, to the Natural History Museum and to go bowling. Future expeditions are planned.
Quakerism offers spiritually searching people a chance for their children to explore for themselves, within a broad framework. We hope that we provide a haven for those who have no other spiritual home but want their children to get some lived-in sense of the spiritual.
