First Day School (Sunday School)

Children are very welcome at our Meeting. While adults engage in silent worship, we have First Day School (Quaker Sunday School) for children. We guide young Friends to become seekers themselves by reading religious texts and/or history and then discussing how those stories and ideas relate to their everyday lives. We encourage children to express themselves through art and play activities, as well as conversationally.

During the break between silent worship and second hour discussions, we have the children share with the adults what they did/learned during First Day School; this allows the community as a whole to support and encourage the children's growth as seekers.

If you are planning to bring your family to our Meeting for the first time, consider emailing us (athensquakers@gmail.com) ahead of time so we can make sure to have appropriate coverage available for your children.
