2024 QCA YM Pastoral Care

Step 1 of 12

Yearly Meeting is about bringing Quakers together to see each other’s faces, to listen to the promptings of love and truth and to share that with the wider world.
This year we will be meeting online as well as at Friends House. This is a really valuable opportunity to strengthen our connections. We know all too well that both meeting at Friends House again or attending a blended event has its own challenges.
We ask for your help to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere that nurtures all of us as we try to live in the Kingdom of God here and now.

Please consider offering your help with the Pastoral Care team working with members of the Pastoral Care Group providing practical help or a listening ear both face-to-face and online;
