 As Rachel says: ‘Many people find that they experience spiritual connection more readily when outdoors, and indeed the Bible is full of imagery drawn from the natural world. Creation is well able to speak to us of the creator, and we can take each encounter as our own personal parable, listening to what God wishes to share with us through it.’

There will be a silent vigil at 3pm on Sunday 19 November in Trinity Square, Sutton (opposite Waterstones) to mourn the loss of life in Israel and Gaza, to pray for peace in the region and to show our commitment to living respectfully alongside one another here in Sutton.  We expect the vigil to last about half an hour. It’s being organised by a small group of Sutton Quakers and we are  inviting all churches and faith groups in Sutton. We are particularly keen to involve people from the local mosques and synagogues
