Radnor Meeting Youth Teach the Meaning of Christmas

Radnor Meeting Youth Teach the Meaning of Christmas

Our young friends (12 in all from ages 4 – 16) led by the Adult Religious Education leaders offered the Meeting a marvelous presentation of Scrooge/Christmas Carol with some Quakerly themes woven into the narrative. These themes included love and charity. Thanks to the young thespians and their artistic directors, especially- Clare, John, Priscilla and Winnie. The performance was funny, moving, meaningful and timely!
