Film club meets (usually at 6pm) in the library at Redland Meeting House every third Saturday of the month.
Everyone is welcome to come. Please bring some food for a shared supper after the screening. If you are able to bring about £2 to help pay for the licence, that would be a help, but come anyway!
The evening will end by 9pm.
These are held on Zoom on the second Sunday of the month from 1.0pm until 2.0pm. This gives us a chance to get something to eat after Meeting for Worship, and then to eat together and share responses to a short presentation by a Friend. In this way we continue to get to know each other better around the lunch table as we have always done .

Helen Watkins will start us off with some of her thoughts on the lecture. It’s not essential to have read or seen the lecture before joining us on 20 September – come whether you have or not!
But if you want to find out about it first, you can see Tom Shakespeare’s lecture online, or buy the book of the lecture, by visiting: https://www.woodbrooke.org.uk/learn/about/swarthmore-lecture/
From October, we plan a new series looking at key Quaker words and phrases, such as Discernment, That of God in Everyone, Ministry, Holding in the Light, Worship, Living Your Beliefs, Being Led. We’ll unpack these and share what they mean for us.
Meetings for Learning are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month, for 45 minutes starting at 10.0am. The Zoom links for the meetings, and further reminders, will be in the weekly Notices.
The focus of the Meeting for learning is on being a Quaker in today’s world. One Friend leads by sharing thoughts about a particular Quaker topic, then there’s an opportunity to reflect and share everyone’s views and experiences.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you would be willing to lead a Meeting for Learning session – and new ideas are also welcome.
