Online Meeting for Worship

Join us on Zoom for online worship at various times throughout the week. We offer 1-hour meetings for worship at 11:00 on Thursday and 10:30 on Sunday and 30-minute meetings at other times - see the timetable below for details. All times shown are UK local time.

The Zoom room is usually open at least 10 minutes before the advertised start of the worship. Please join before the start time, to allow time for a welcome and to give yourself and others time to settle into stillness before the worship starts.

We welcome Friends from around the world to all our meetings for worship. All worship is 30 minutes unless otherwise stated.

We welcome local Meetings who wish to join our online worship as a group from their meeting house. If your Meeting plans to do this, please email learning@woodbrooke.org.uk a few days in advance, so that we can talk through a few practicalities with you. In particular, we will ask you to ensure that you have one person monitoring the chat on Zoom on a separate screen during the meeting for worship, in case our online facilitators need to send you a message, e.g. about audibility or a need for eldering.

Meeting times are given in UK local time. To check the times against your local times we recommend you use this online time converter.

Our online worship is run in partnership with EMES (Europe and the Middle East Section of Friend World Committee for Consultation). Click the button below to see more opportunities to worship online with various European and the Middle Eastern Quakers:

It really was the most remarkable Meeting I've ever been a part of in 12 years of Quaker worship. It was held together so gently. In fact, that was my third week of online Meeting for Worship and each one has been a joy.

I find Woodbrooke-EMES online worship deeply spiritually uplifting. It has provided a lifeline to many during the Covid-19 lockdown and I now consider it to be an essential part of my continuing faith commitment

I find the online worship surprisingly powerful. By attending regularly the faces have become familiar, and I find myself looking forward to it. The early morning Meetings work especially well for me. They anchor my day.

Now, six months later, the twice-weekly online meetings have become an important part of my Quaker life.  I look forward to them and enjoy the experience of sharing the silence with Friends not only from the UK, but also from some other European countries and further afield, such as Australia and the USA.
