Young Families

Monthly Online Children's Meeting

Children (aged 0-12) and their families meet online, at 5.00pm on the first Sunday of each month

We connect, explore themes, wonder, worship and journey alongside each other through stories, craft and stillness.

Quaker Parent Worship

Quaker Parent Worship is an online space for parents who are currently engaged in bringing up children, to come together for worship, reflection, and connection.  

Meeting on Zoom, from 9pm on the second and fourth Monday of each month, follow this link.

The format for this worship is what is sometimes called an ‘Epilogue’ that will last around 30 minutes. The focus is to have some quiet time together at the end of the day; it will be held in Quaker stillness. You will be joining a silent meeting, there will be space to speak if you feel moved to and there may be an offering, perhaps a reading or music, from the host. After the worship there will be a short time to chat for anyone who wants to stay.

Quaker Parent Worship is run in partnership with EMES (Europe and the Middle East Section of Friend World Committee for Consultation) and Youth, Children and Families staff of Quakers in Britain.

Quaker Parenting Network

This is an ongoing challenging time for a lot of parents, many of whom are juggling lots of different needs and pressures. The Quaker Parenting Network offers opportunities to connect with other Quaker parents in Britain. It has a Facebook group which has been busy with parents seeking advice and sharing encouragement over the last few weeks. It is also running Zoom meet ups for parents. If you are interested in joining the Facebook group  follow this link.

Children's meeting online

A lot of Quaker communities around the country are organising online children's meetings, activities for parents, children and families and all-age worship. There are also a number of parents and families who have been in touch with us who haven't been able to find Quaker children's activities in their locality.

Please let us know if you are a family wanting to connect with a children's meeting, and we will put you in touch. Email the Youth, Children and Families team at  cypadmin@quakerorg.uk
