About Us: Jersey,
the largest of the Channel Islands, has a lively Meeting that has
increased in number since the end of World War II when the meeting
house was abandoned and used by the German occupying forces. Situated
in St Helier, the meeting house is close to shops and park.
We now have over twenty adults and a few children
attending Meeting for Worship on Sundays. We also hold regular
discussions and have links with other groups on the island over peace
issues, ecumenical events and charity work. We are delighted to welcome
to our Meeting the many
visitors to the island.
