Come, bring your children! Bring their favorite toy, blanket/quilt, and pillow! Westtown has been using Intergenerational Worship with Faith & Play for almost a year and our parents and children love it! Our whole community loves it! Research has proven children grow in their knowledge and understanding of Quakerism by participating regularly in Meeting for Worship. They are much more likely to become active members as adults. During this Quarterly Meeting you will learn about Intergenerational Worship by experiencing it and then discussing it afterwards. This program is for all ages of Friends because intergenerational means "everything is for everyone." Children and families need accompaniment of all generations together. Come and experience this unique way that Westtown has grown their Meeting community and learn how to bring it to your Meeting.
Supervision and community building for children will be provided, outside, weather permitting during the discussion time from 11:40 to 12:30
