Quaker Week – The Secret Garden
One of our ideas for Quaker Week is to offer a warm welcome with refreshments (both victual and spiritual) and the chance to visit our “Secret Garden” – with the Meeting House open on Saturday 30th September, Sunday 1st October and Thursday 5th October for visitors. Please listen for notices and updates as the ideas develop, and offer your help if you can.
Book Club – October’s book is “Birdcage Walk” by Helen Dunmore.
