From September 2006 Children's Meeting will concentrate on a different theme
every two months while retaining the basic structure of the last few years, with
similar activities happening on each 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Sunday.  These
themes are based on Quaker testimonies and we hope that they will provide some
continuity from week to week, and will help children and young people to explore
issues of importance to Friends in a variety of ways.

The themes for 2006/2007 will be:

September and October:               Peace

November and December:            Contribution to the Christmas Entertainment
(no coordinator yet)

January and February:                    Truth

March and April:                           Slavery

May and June:                               Simple Living


The monthly pattern is:

1st Sunday          Children under 12 - historical perspective,  Young People -
discussion group organised by young people

2nd Sunday         AAW organised by colour groups

3rd Sunday         Children under 12 - contemporary issues,  Young People -
activity organised by children's committee

4th Sunday          Children and Young People - arts and crafts

5th Sunday          Children and Young People - music


Over the summer there are ad hoc activities, and the programme starts at the
beginning of September.
