This engaging little booklet helps children find their way into Quaker meeting for worship. With rich, calming colors, the booklet uses images from a garden to illustrate the different aspects of Quaker worship. A flap on the back cover challenges young readers to find hidden pictures within the story. This book can be used as a starting point for conversation with children about worship in the manner of Friends, and also as a focus to help children center during Meeting for Worship. The QREC edition includes Spanish and English text on each page and is offered in two versions, one for unprogrammed and the other for programmed Friends meetings.

An Introduction

The Quaker Religious Education Collaborative (QREC) is an international, cross-branch, grassroots network of Friends sharing a stewardship for lifelong Quaker faith formation through religious education. We formed in April 2014 and now serve more than 300 Friends in our network. We actively engage and support each other across languages and continents. We gather for regional and annual conferences and offer monthly Conversation Circles via an online conferencing platform.Ā
