Children’s Meeting
(i.e. Children’s Church, Godly Play, First Day School)
After music time in the main meeting for worship (around 11:15am or so), we invite children ages 5-12 to join us in the classroom for a story, crafts, and other fun activities.
We intend to encourage within the children the same Love-centered, Christ-guided, Quaker-informed spirituality that is present in the main meeting. We present relatable stories about the challenges and joys of life drawn from Bible stories and non-religious picture books. Through open-ended questioning, we encourage them to see themselves in the story and find their own answers.
Our priorities for the children are:
to feel safe—physically, emotionally, and spiritually
to learn to ask questions
to grow spiritually
to have fun!
In the interest of safety we follow the SCYMF Safeguarding Policy requiring two background-checked adults to be with the children at all times.
