Gwynedd Friends Meeting is blessed to have an active and vibrant Youth Quaker
Education (YQE) program for our children and youth. Our religious education program
is fun, enriching and dedicated to meeting the many spiritual needs of our youth and
families. Our curriculum contains a rich blend of activities and explorations about
spiritual thoughts and ideas, Quaker testimonies, and Quaker history and include topics
that are relevant for the times in which we live. The children participate in joyful
singing, Junior Meeting for Worship, monthly service projects and classes with their
peers. Our children and youth and their families also participate in intergenerational
activities that provide an opportunity for all ages to have fun and grow spiritually
together.

Children and youth from pre-K through high school are welcome to join us for YQE on
Sundays, 9:30 - 10:45AM. The YQE program year begins on the Sunday following Labor
Day in September and closes on the Sunday following Memorial Day in May/June.

Welcome!

 Welcome 1        

Folks come to us looking for a spiritual home. Please visit. Quakers believe in the presence of God in everyone. Regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or reason, you will find a warm welcome from us.
 
In addition to our belief in that of God in everyone, we believe in direct communion with the Divine. In other words, Spirit speaks and guide us directly. Our worship is in silence as we wait expectantly for that connection.
 
In worship we gather in silence, quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and seek the source of love and truth in our lives. At times, Friends feel called to stand and speak a message given from the divine.
 
We eagerly welcome believers of all faiths as fellow members of God's universal community. Our Meeting for Worship service, Sundays at 9:30 AM, is open to everyone in person and on a Zoom link. We also have Worship on Wednesday evenings at 8PM on the same Zoom link.
 
We enter our worship rooms quietly. The worship begins as you enter in silence. There are no assigned seats. We do not have a pastor who leads us.
 
We Quakers bear witness to our core beliefs through direct action on a variety of social concerns, like housing the homeless, supporting food banks, and standing vigil for peace. We work locally, nationally, and internationally. Quakers often say, “Our service begins when worship ends.”
