Manchester & Warrington Area Quakers are runnung a Quaker Quest series.
It is our Area Meeting’s usually annual main outreach activity.
The last sessions in 2019 were all done in Quaker week and Young Friends got about 50 people to come to the first on Quakers and Youth but more commonly there are ol about 4-7 newcomers in attendance
These are in person at Central Manchester and blended.
There is a large display that can show 25 people clearly, including being able to read their names, and a good microphone.
When they were in person the format was that three people would each spend eight minutes giving their personal story on the topic.
Then some questions would be answered and the new comers would go into break out rooms with a couple of experienced friends for twenty minutes.
The rest of the experienced friends socialise in another room.
There would then be a brief plenary followed by fifteen minutes of Meeting for Worship.
Register at Eventbrite to get sent the Zoom link the day before.
