Family and Faith: all age faith communities
27 February - 9 April 2023, Online
This course is for those who are interested and invested in the relationship our meetings build with families both within our communities and adjacent to. What are we already doing? And what more can we do?
These sessions will be based around the book:
'The Essential Guide to Family Ministry' by Gail Adcock
Family ministry is a term used by Christian denominations. It means any work that is with families or their members within the context of their worshipping group. This could be the work done by the Children and Young People's Advocate of your Area Meeting or it could mean the work done by the Friend in Local Meeting who routinely remembers to check in on a family who haven't been to Meeting for Worship for a while and recognises the loss in their absence.
We will be translating Gail Adcock's book into a specifically Quaker context together as we read two chapters between each live session.
In the live sessions we will reflect on the questions provided at the end of each chapter and apply what we have read to Quaker community and our work with children, young people and families.
These sessions would be perfect for anyone with a particular role or specific interest in All Age Community.
