Whilst we don't currently have an active children's meeting at Jersey, we do have a dedicated children's room well equipped with books, toys, art materials and more.
However there are several ways for families and young people to connect online - and more soon to be announced, so watch this space!
Giant Online Children's Meeting
.....meet on the first Sunday of the month from 5pm to 5:45pm.
Children (aged 0-12) and their families connect online, to explore themes, wonder, worship and journey alongside each other through stories craft and stillness.
Contact Jude Acton for more info and the zoom link, or send an email to cypadmin@quaker.org.uk to register.
Telephone: 02076 631160
Junior Gathering and Senior Conference
Junior Gathering and Senior Conference offer the opportunity for young people aged 11-18 to come together for a week long residential event each summer. They are run in a Quaker way, which means that the Quaker values of Truth & Integrity, Equality & Community, Peace, Simplicity and The earth & Environment are what guide us in creating a packed week of friendship, nurture and fun. Participants do not need to come from a Quaker background or be involved in Quakers, and funding is available for those who need it.
Young Friends General Meeting (YFGM)
YFGM describe themselves as a diverse bunch, united by a willingness to explore issues surrounding faith and social justice, who worship together in silence, but also use workshops and interactive spirituality sessions to explore how their faith is calling them to act in the world.
YFGM is the national community for young adults (18-35) within the Religious Society of Friends. The name refers to both the organisation and to the three gatherings held over weekends in February, May, and October each year. These take place in various Quaker Meeting Houses across Britain. Help with costs is available for anyone from the islands wishing to attend.
YOUNG ADULT WORSHIP
is an online space for 18-35 year-olds to come together for worship, reflection, and connection.
The focus is to have some quiet time together at the end of the day; it will be held in Quaker stillness. You will be joining a silent meeting, there will be space to speak if you feel moved to and there may be a reading by the host. It will last around 30 minutes and those who wish to stay for a chat for 15 minutes or so afterward are very welcome to. You don’t have to be a Quaker to come to worship.
Every Wednesday 9pm – 9:30pm
