Others shake hands with those nearby, and meeting is officially ended. This is followed by light refreshment. Our children's meeting is a special program for young people which takes place upstairs during part of the meeting. Children may join in part of the hour of silent worship, or for the full meeting for worship. We encourage and enjoy the participation of children in meeting for worship.
Child care is available for preschool children during meeting.
Back to Table of Contents Beliefs in Action Quakers attempt to live by our testimonies to the importance of honesty, simplicity, peace, justice and equality. We try to demonstrate these testimonies in our daily lives. Much of our ministry is carried out within our families, places of work and through our community involvements. Sometimes we succeed in advancing our testimonies. But, many times we feel we have a long way to go to bring our beliefs and our daily practices together.
