This was my second visit to Goshen as I also attended the Quarterly Meeting there last October. Just like at Quarterly Meeting, it was so heartening to see the many families and children fully engaged in the Meeting and First Day School. The Meeting is clearly putting a lot of time and effort into supporting the needs of families with small children, and it is working! I spoke to one young couple after Meeting. They had been “shopping around for a Meeting with a good children’s program” and eventually found Goshen. They said that there was no need to look any further and they have been there ever since. The Meeting for Worship includes the children coming in for the last few minutes and it brightened the room when they all paraded in. The Meeting is gracefully adjusting to the added hustle and bustle and is very open to adjusting to meet the children’s needs. The Meeting for Worship was hybrid with two Friends attending via Zoom. It was a quiet, peaceful Meeting for Worship and by the end it was full of the added joy and energy of the youth. There was a delicious spread of snacks after Meeting as Friends of all ages needed some nourishment before their Monthly Meeting for Business. They also provide childcare during this added time. Even though I was not staying, I felt obligated to try out a few of the snacks myself. The cold grape and cheese kabobs were wonderful! .
