Bournville Quaker Meeting

A few of us took a visit to Winterbourne House and Gardens yesterday - a lovely reminder of the beauty and resilience of nature. It was a pleasure to deepen our sense of community with each other with a walk, a natter and a good cuppa!

"God is spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)

These words, displayed on the wall of our Meeting House, come from Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well. They remind us that worship is not confined to a particular place or ritual, but is found in openness, sincerity, and attentiveness to the Spirit. As we gather in stillness today, we seek to discover and rediscover the depths of that attentiveness.

Join us at lunchtime today to hear Paul Carr play our lovely organ - the only organ in a Quaker meeting house in the UK. Bring your own lunch and join in the tea and coffee and chat option from midday if you like. The music will begin at 1pm in the main meeting room. The concerts are free with a retiring collection so we can pay our performers. Enter by the side door.

"Bring into God’s light those emotions, attitudes and prejudices in yourself which lie at the root of destructive conflict, acknowledging your need for forgiveness and grace. In what ways are you involved in the work of reconciliation between individuals, groups and nations?"
