In Swindon, we meet for worship in the Meeting House at 10.30 on Sunday mornings. We also meet on Wednesdays at 8.30 a.m. for a half hour Meeting for Worship followed by breakfast, except on the 3rd Wednesday of the month when we meet at 7 p.m. for an evening meal followed by Meeting for Worship.
There is no prearranged service or appointed minister, instead we gather in silence. This is an opportunity for reflection, but also for deep listening, in the expectation that we may experience the presence of God. Sometimes, from out of the stillness, someone will be inspired to stand and speak: they may speak from their own experience, or offer a reading or a prayer. We welcome visitors to join us in Meeting for Worship. |
Within the Religious Society of Friends, a clerk is responsible for the organisation and administration of a Meeting.
The Clerk of Swindon Meeting is Ella March and can be contacted at: [email protected] |
Projects Swindon Friends Support
Swindon Meeting has for many years had a close association with The Harbour, a project in the town providing a drop-in and support venue for refugees and asylum seekers. Friends have acted as trustees and volunteers, and informally befriended individuals where a connection has been made.
In 2020, Swindon Quakers established the Swindon Hardship Fund, which helps individuals enduring financial hardship in Swindon, meeting gaps in provision unmet by government and larger charities. https://swindonhardshipfund.org.uk |
