We hold meetings for worship and discussion on the second Sunday in the month and services of worship on the fourth Sunday in the month. Both meetings are followed by refreshments. With rare exceptions all meetings are held at the Friends' Meeting House, Rainsford Road, Chelmsford at 3:00p.m.

The Services of worship are led by invited Unitarian Ministers and Lay Preachers, thus providing a variety of approaches. The worship at meetings for worship and discussion is taken by members of the Fellowship and includes music, readings and reflections from many sources, and possibly short periods of meditation, in all some twenty minutes. The discussion may be introduced by a member of the Fellowship or an outside speaker and will explore religious or social issues. The two forms of meeting arose to meet differing needs among members and it is understood that, while many members will wish to go to both, some will prefer one or other.
