We cannot entirely shield our children from knowledge of the news and messages that the world is in trouble, but we need to accompany children and young people with care and intention. Join this conversation to explore how to reaffirm that together, we can learn and practice peace.
Easter calls us to focus on hard questions about death, resurrection, renewal, and Divine purpose. We may ask, “Why did Jesus go to Jerusalem?” “What was released when Jesus died on the cross?” or “What does this story teach us today?” As Quaker religious educators we also plow the ground for multigenerational learning. This conversation will also consider how to approach the Easter story and celebrations with children and youth.
Do you yearn for spiritual deepening in the manner of Friends? Are you led to help leaven a deeper connection with the Divine within your meeting?

Learn more in this conversation.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a short list of songs that Quaker kids could all sing when we gather? To help it happen, QREC is creating a webpage with favorite songs, lyrics and recordings. Join the conversation to learn more.
Quaker Meetings can help parents feel welcome by offering consistent support according to the capacity of the Meeting or Worship Group. Meetings may offer children’s religious education, regular potlucks, family friendly retreats or opportunities for parents to gather for mutual support. Meetings can also put parents at ease by making space for children in the Meeting Room and allaying parents’ concerns about children in Meeting for Worship.
