Community and Events
Being a Quaker doesn't stop when you leave the Meeting House on a Sunday morning. Quaker activities, group meetings and events take place at the Meeting House all week. Quakers and friends are involved in all kinds of activist, social and spiritual activities.
Experiment with light
Experiment with Light is a Quaker practice which was devised by Quaker and theologian Rex Ambler, following his study of early Quaker writings.
The core of the practice is a meditation that guides you through a series of self-reflection, and encourages the opening of heart and mind.
Experiment with Light is often practised in Light Groups. Check with Shanthini for times and dates via shantzcawson@gmail.com.

monthly bring and share lunch
Join us after Meeting for Worship each month for a bring and share lunch.
We bring and share vegetarian and vegan-friendly food and do not bring alcoholic drinks in order to be inclusive. Those of us who are able bring food so that we can all share.
All welcome.
children's meeting
Children’s Meeting is held every week at Liverpool. Children come in for the first ten minutes of Meeting for Worship with their parents. Drawing materials and books are available, and we do recognise that young children and babies will not necessarily be still or silent. Children then go upstairs with the two adults running Children’s Meeting.
Parents are welcome to come too or stay in Meeting as they choose. Our children learn about Quaker values and history, do craft, and play with the toys and games in the Children’s Room. At the end, they come back downstairs and have the chance to share what they’ve been doing with the adults.
We also run regular all-age semi-programmed Meeting for Worships and social gatherings for families. Teenagers can take part in Teenage General Meeting and Quaker Summer School, and some families in our Meeting attend family weekends at Rookhow in the Lake District.
We welcome children of all ages from babies upwards. You don’t need to tell us if you want to bring a child, but if you’d like to talk to Children’s Committee before coming for the first time, you can contact Sally on 07912 208286 or nichollssally@hotmail.com.
Be More Becky Memorial Fund
In August 2018 we sadly lost our Friend Becky. Although she was just 27 years old when she died, Becky left an impression on hundreds of lives. Her peace work and activism and the way in which she lived her short life provides inspiration to Friends everywhere. She is greatly missed.
Becky’s family has set up a fund in her memory which aims to help young people aged 18 to 30 to take forward her work.
