Brilliant all age 'Meeting for games' with Redland Quakers on Sunday eve. Great to laugh and play together. And to discuss how we feel 'hope is a thing with'...wings, fins, a shell, a horn and rays of light approaching a summit (that may have another hill behind).

So nice to hear how well the young children (under5s) & families mid worship breakout room for children's meeting is going at Redland Quaker Meeting on Zoom:) They read stories, chat&do activities such as yoga or craft mid meeting& join the rest of worship. #connections #quaker
