This group is valued not only for the music-making opportunities it affords us but also for the very real friendship and fellowship that it generates. The worship time also includes a teaching on the chosen theme and a period of silent waiting upon God, usually about 15 to 20 minutes. At the end of the meeting Friends and visitors are given a tiny loaf of homemade bread, baked by one of our members, to take home with them as a gift from the meeting. This loaf is to remind you that Jesus is the bread of life. Come again soon.
Worship is followed by homemade cake and coffee and a time of fellowship.
Each month we also meet for study and reflection in each other's homes. At the moment we are reading Quaker Faith and Practice in tandem with the appropriate Scriptures and it is proving both nourishing and challenging. A Guide for Spiritual Friends , which comes from the Mennonite tradition. So although we do not yet meet for worship every week we do meet together for something each week and the whole month is covered. The Meeting is loving, lively and very responsive to the holy spirit, it cherishes the presence of Jesus in its heart and is always learning something new.
