All are welcome at Meeting for Worship each First-Day (Sunday) at 10 AM

Raleigh Friends Meeting welcomes young people to participate in our "First-Day School" (Sunday school) and other youth activities. Here's a typical schedule of youth activities on a Sunday morning:

10:00 AM - People of all ages participate together in the first 15 minutes or so of worship in the silence (see descriptions elsewhere on this website). Parents of the very young can choose whether to bring an infant or toddler to this or any other parts of the worship period or take them to be watched by a child-care person during this time.
10:15 AM - When the youth program leaders indicate that it is time, pre-school and school-age kids go to the classrooms. A variety of topics, crafts, service projects, life stories, and foundations of religious experience are discussed, worked on, and planned.
11:00 AM - Young people who have attended one of the First-Day School groups then re-join the others in the worship room for the announcement period, which is followed by refreshments and unstructured time together. For young people whose parents choose to stay for an adult-oriented "Second Hour" discussion, there is usually a good collection of young people who enjoy a continuation of unstructured time until about 1:20 or 1:30 PM.

Intergenerational events, such as movie nights, picnics, pot-luck meals, etc. often will be posted at the top of the Events page.

Tentative Calender of Topics

Sept. 23, 2007: Rudy Zalesak: "But what *do* you believe in?" Every day you meet people who have very different views about God, evolution, the Bible, ... than you do. What are good ways of answering tough questions about your religious and political beliefs?
