Youth and Adult Activities

Middle School and HIgh School Group
Sundays starting at 9:45 am, the Middle and High School group assembles for the week in review (good and new events for individuals in the group--fun stories, personal challenges, support from your friends) and a lesson or discussion on a topic that challenges young and old and relates Quaker practices to our times. How would you address a challenge in your life?

 

Elementary School Group
Also starting on Sundays at 9:45 am, the Elementary School group shares a story or lesson on Quaker practices and beliefs.  Often a craft or creative movement activity is part of the lesson.

 

Monthly, the Women's Group meets, usually in someone's home with a potluck meal or snacks. Topics are wide-ranging. Listening and caring along with humor and enjoying each other's journeys are part of the group's time together. Each year a retreat allows for an extended exploration of a particular topic and lots of fellowship, time for worship, and an opportunity for a change of pace and direction.

Couples Group
Couples Group meets most months. This group has a pre-requisite of attending Couples Enrichment training prior to joining.  The group establishes a safe and confidential environment in which to explore as a couple and as a group a variety of challenges that couples and families face. The group practices dialogue methods to help couples listen to and understand each other. We have an emphasis on positive growth in couples' relationships.  An annual retreat allows time for focusing on dialoging techniques, some social time together, and usually extended time to work on an important issue in a couples' lives. The group practices in the manner of Friends with some time for silent worship.  The group is open to couples from a variety of faith communities.
