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.
