Sunday Meetings:
On the first Sunday of each month we have
- ONE Meeting for Worship 09:30am-10:15am, followed by tea, coffee, and biscuits, and at 10:45am our monthly Business Meeting

On other Sundays,
- the main 10.30am Meeting for Worship lasts for an hour. 
- a shorter 8:30am Meeting for Worship lasts 45 minutes and all are welcome to share a simple breakfast afterwards.

The Meeting for Worship is a time of silence, which for some might be an opportunity for thought or meditation, for others prayer. Into this silence from time to time someone may offer a reading or spoken ministry.
