RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (QUAKERS)
MARPLE MEETING

WHAT IS A QUAKER MEETING? Quakers believe that all people can have direct experience of God. We find that in our Meetings for Worship we can meet with God in silence and in spoken contributions. We can be empowered by this experience to find peace, and strength for our work in the world. Worship is not separate from, but part of, our daily lives. We make no distinction between the sacred and the secular as we try to live our convictions in the here and now. For more information about Quakers, please go to the Britain Yearly Meeting website at http://www.quaker.org.uk Free information will be sent on request, but no one will contact you.

HOW TO GET THERE

We have temporarily closed our meeting house on Church Lane, near the Hatters' Public House, and currently meet at the Methodist Church Hall, Church Lane, Marple.

The nearest bus stops are at the bottom of Hibbert Lane, and on Stockport Road, opposite the Baths or near the Post Office.

Stations are Marple, three quarters of a mile and Rose Hill (no Sunday trains), half a mile.

TIMES OF MEETINGS

Our Meetings are held each Sunday from 10.30-11.30 a.m. All are welcome.

CHILDREN’S CLASSES

We are unable to run a class for children at present. (Children's classes are provided at Cheadle Hulme, Disley and Stockport Meetings. Details of these can be found by searching the Britain Yearly Meeting website; just key in SK, the postcode for the area.) However, accompanied children are welcome at Marple and may stay with us in Meeting for Worship for as long a period as you wish. You may bring children for the start of the Meeting, or for the end if you prefer. If you would like further information, please contact Hilary Brooks using the details shown below.

Try to live so that you can respond to that of God in those you meet, and in yourself. Seek to know in your inmost heart that each human being is unique, precious, a child of God.
