Brighton's Quaker Community

Welcome!

When do we meet?

What exactly do Quakers do?

Where is Brighton's Quaker Meeting House?

 "Worship is our response to an awareness of God. We can worship alone, but when we join with others in expectant waiting we may discover a deeper sense of God's presence. We seek a gathered stillness in our meetings for worship so that all may feel the power of God's love drawing us together and leading us."

 

Vigil for Peace

On the second Sunday of each month, until further notice, our regular 5pm Meeting for Worship will take the form of a silent Vigil for Peace. All are welcome.

Try to live simply. A simple lifestyle freely chosen is a source of strength. Do not be persuaded into buying what you do not need or cannot afford. Do you keep yourself informed about the effects your style of living is having on the global economy and environment?
Quaker Faith & Practice,

Advices & Queries No 41

 

Connecting Friends meet in the Meeting House on the first Monday of the month.   It is a time to get to know each other.   At present we take one item from Advices & Queries, each read it aloud in turn, and then reflect on it together in silence for about 15 minutes.   We then share our reflections, spending about an hour together in our groups.   Following this, we meet together as a whole group to share drinks and snacks – everyone is asked to contribute – and we break no later than 9pm.     The meetings are convened by the Elders or the Pastoral Friends.   Please contact them at bqpastoralfriends@outlook.com

2 March, 6 April, 4 May, 1 June, 6 July 7-9pm.    Please arrive at the back door.   
 
Young Adult Friends meet together in the Meeting House on the third Monday of each month to socialise, worship, discuss and learn on Quaker themes, and enjoy a hearty shared meal.

We warmly welcome other Young Adult Friends (anyone between 18 and a very flexible 40ish years old) to join us.   The group is open to anyone who has attended Brighton Meeting and anyone they would like to bring with them.

16 March, 20 April, 18 May, 15 June, 20 July      at 7-9pm.    Please arrive at the back door.   

For more information on these two groups please email brightonquakernewsletter@gmail.com and it will be forwarded on.
