From 16th April to the summer break Children\u2019s Meeting will happen every Sunday apart from the 28th May and 4th June.\u00a0 We meet at 10.30am at Cotteridge Quaker (\u201cFriends\u201d) Meeting House. For the first 10 minutes the children and young people join the main meeting for worship (find out more about Quaker worship here<\/a>).<\/p>

Our children and young people are aged from zero to about 14 years old. We enjoy a wide range of activities including gardening, crafts, music, cooking and games. We explore issues that we care about like peace and the environment. We children help plan the programme and suggest ideas for activities and topics and help run some of the sessions. Two of us are also on the children’s committee.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We make time each week to share what’s been going on in our lives and think about what’s important to us. We sometimes learn more about Quakers, and think about how we can make the world a better place for everyone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Parents and carers are very welcome to stay with their children in children’s meeting, especially if it’s their first time or they are younger. If children are happy to be left, then you are welcome to join in our Quaker meeting for worship, or give us your contact details and stay nearby. All of our leaders and helpers are DBS checked.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
