Who meets here
Most of them have nothing to do with us.
A church building in Kingston is one of the few large rooms a group can get for an evening. We think that is most of what it is for. Here is everyone who uses it, which day, and whether you can simply walk in.

Bringing a group in
What we ask, and what we do not.
The upper room has held the same AA meeting every Tuesday for nineteen years on these terms.
We ask for one named person we can ring, the hours you actually need, and that you leave the room as you found it. That is the whole of it.
We do not ask what you believe, whether you come on Sunday, who is in your group, or what is said in the room. We keep no list of your members and we do not sit in.
What you pay depends on what you do: the published rate if you charge people, nothing at all if you serve this parish for free. Say which when you ask and we will not haggle.
