All are welcome, anytime. We meet for about an hour, and afterwards we have coffee and tea and an informal chat. If you like, you can just come and join us for that bit.
We meet both in person at the meeting house and online using Zoom (link in Find Us below).
We have a Children's Meeting the first and third Sunday of each month, and other Sundays by arrangement.
We have a loop system, an accessible toilet, and a stairlift.

Heidi Chiang extends a very big 'thank you' to everyone at Disley Quaker Meeting who generously supported her 13th annual book sale for Book Aid International.
We had well over 1000 books donated overall, and made £1300 in total from monies donated online and via cash.
What a wonderful result!

Seven Disley Friends joined worshippers at the chapel. We had been asked to offer some introductory ministry and hold the silence. Prepared ministry included 2:12 (Pierre Lacout) from Quaker Faith & Practice about Quaker worship.
It was good to be there. We felt there was a warm friendship and acceptance of the worship we had shaped with Kate. We all enjoyed the two hymns which opened and concluded the worship.
Friends are invited to the restored methodist chapel at Barbour Booth, Edale, for their service at 3pm, where we hope to include some Quaker worship.

In his lecture, Stuart Msssters will explore the diverse mix of characteristics visible in the early Quaker movement that produced several creative tensions which subsequent generations have had to navigate. These include the tensions between inward experience and outward tradition, communal order and individual freedom, the quietist and the charismatic, and the new creation and the world.
He will argue that engaging with these issues can help Friends better appreciate the diversity present within the global Quaker family and enable them to discern how to respond to these dilemmas today
