This all day study group will be an opportunity to:
- Share our experiences of Meeting for Worship.
- Look back to the origins of Quaker worship and, in this George Fox anniversary year, listen to what he said about this.
- Reflect on how relevant his words are for us as we worship today.
We’ll stop for a bring and share lunch at midday. Please bring some food to share if you can. Drinks provided.
All are welcome to attend this event.

The Meeting House is on the right-hand side of Foregate Street (A34) when approaching from Stafford town centre. It is about 100 metres past the Gaol Square roundabout and just before the pelican crossing.
Background information:
George Fox was a founder of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers or Friends.
Quaker worship is (mostly) silent or 'unprogrammed'. In the quiet we wait for a connection. This might be a connection with those around us, with our deepest selves, or with God. We may begin to see the world and our relationships in new ways. During worship somebody may feel moved to speak. This is called 'spoken ministry'.
