If you are wondering what God may be
Or looking for a purpose in life,
Or craving company,
Or seeking solitude,
Then come to one of our meetings for worship
You do not have to be a Quaker.
Many who attend our meetings week in week out are not.

We shall not ask you what you believe.
We shall simply offer you our friendship
And a chance to sit quietly and think.

Perhaps somebody will speak,
Perhaps somebody will read,
Perhaps somebody will say a prayer
And perhaps you will find what you are looking for.

We are not saints. We are not cranks.
We do not wear black hats nor do we survive on porridge oats!
Quakers vary considerably but all believe that
God's light is to be found in each one of us
Just waiting to be discovered.
