\nYoung Friends<\/span>
\n1. On December 19, our special guest at Young Friends was Daphne Clement. The youth shared their biographies and their thoughts about God. They asked many questions of Daphne and she deftly answered them! It was a deep, rich conversation about being human and making sense of our faith. (8 youth and 2 adults attended)<\/p>\n

2. We published our first issue of \u201cForever Friends\u201d, the Young Friends newspaper. The
\nfirst issue features an interview with Bee Douglas, many photos and a comic strip. If you
\nhave not seen it yet, check out the library table for a copy. We have eager journalists who want to interview, write articles, photograph, draw cartoons, write stories and poems and see their work in print. Stayed tuned for issue 2 – planned to be out the end of February.<\/p>\n

3. At our January meeting, we had a lovely time of sharing, then made pretzel dough for the FQM which would be held the following Sunday. (8 youth and 1 adult attended)<\/p>\n

4. FQM- During a special Sunday School, the children and youth had a great time hearing the legend of the pretzel and a story, \u201cGod’s Hands\u201d, about 2 Jewish men, a rabbi, and 12
\nloaves of Challah bread. (8 children\/youth and 4 adults attended)<\/p>\n

5. On February 18, we discussed the upcoming concert, planned publicity and tickets sales.
\nThen we listened to our special guest, Sukie Rice, answering our MANY questions about the Kakamega Orphan project. We plan to donate part of the proceeds from the concert to this project. (3 youth and 2 adults attended)<\/p>\n

Sunday School
\nThe lessons in Sunday School for December were about Advent and Christmas. We all
\nwelcomed Daphne Clement on December 5th and took a wonderful group portrait. January
\nand February Sunday School continued more parables. We listened to and wondered about, The Parable of the Leaven, The Parable of the Sower and The Parable of the Deep Well. We average 12 children ages 2 \u00bd to 13. We meet the first and third Sundays of each month during Meeting for Worship. (after the Children’s Story)<\/p>\n

Passages
\nThe high school group meets twice a month. On Sunday, Dec 12, we visited Sabbothday Lake Shaker Meeting. (4 youth and 1 adult attended) We have been discussing Faith and Practice especially regarding what Quakerism has to say about politics and war\/conflicts. On January 30, our special guest was Markus Schlotterbeck. On February 13, we watched the documentary \u201cTraces of the Trade.\u201d This movie was made by a Connecticut woman who recently discovered that her grandparents and likely, the whole town of Bristol, CT benefited from the slave trade. It confronts issues of prejudice and white privilege.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
