Dear Friends,
Meetings for Worship Suspended at Bell House
On advice from Britian Yearly Meeting, Friends House is that we are going to have suspend Meetings for Worship at Bell House for the foreseeable future. This will help prevent the spread of the virus and is in-line with the rapidly evolving government advice.
Since the situation is developing and changing very quickly it is not at the moment possible to say when we will be able to resume Meetings for Worship together. However, once the epidemic has subsided, and we are advised to do so, the Clerking Team will be back in contact with everyone to announce that Meetings for Worship will resume at Bell House.
Alternative Meetings for Worship
Elders have met to discuss alternative ways to hold meeting for worship. Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday at 10:30am via Zoom for an online meeting, at 10.30 for 30 minutes - Here is a link to join the meeting. Please join a little earlier to 'settle in', at 10.20am Click here from 10:20 on Sunday to access the meeting. https://zoom.us/j/847773654
Woodbrooke and Friends House have also organised online worship. You can find out more here about how to join in: https://www.woodbrooke.org.uk/about/online-mfw/Online-worship-advice
Yours in Friendship,
Forest Hill Elders
We are a community of around 90 people and about half that number are likely to be at Meeting any Sunday from 10.30 to 11.30. Newcomers are warmly welcomed, whether they are just visiting or maybe thinking of a longer stay.
We are open to many ways of life and thought and are willing to learn from all other faiths and churches and from each other. We are less concerned with what we believe than with how we live our lives, care for each other and follow our testimonies of peace, equality, integrity, community and simplicity, guided by the Light that is in us all.

What Happens at a Meeting?
|
Our Meetings are based on silence – a shared silence of waiting and listening.
Sit quietly in silence or you may find it helpful to read one of the leaflets you may have been given. There may be silence for quite some time. We seek a communal gathered stillness where we can be open to inspiration. One or more people during the meeting may feel moved to 'minister'. These are not special people, at least no more special than anyone else, and if you feel moved to speak your contribution will be just as welcome as anyone else's. |
What do we believe?
