● Daily Service Every morning at 6.30am, Every evening at 6.00pm

At the morning service, we express our gratitude for the gift of life given by God's complete providence and pray for blessings to keep us in good health and free of troubles. At the evening service, we reflect on ourselves, thank God for guiding us through the day and ask God for continued blessings tomorrow.

We are taught that the Service is the ultimate means of universal salvation. Let us practice the Hand with Dance Movements and the musical instruments for the service, taking as much opportunity as possible.

The Monthly Service takes place at the Tenrikyo UK Centre every first Sunday of each Month. After the Service there is usually a lecture followed by Divine Healing session and a tea party. There is also the opportunity to have a discussion, practise the Service instruments and the Dance with Hand Movements for the service.

The Ladies Meeting usually takes place every 3rd Thursday of each month and is a chance for ladies to practise the service and do Hinokishin together.

On the 26th of every month, the Kagura Service, which is the most important rite in the Tenrikyo teachings, is performed at the Jiba of Origin at Church Headquarters. Receiving the truth of the service, the UK Centre conducts the Honbu Yohai Service on the same day.

The Tenrikyo UK Weekend Seminar takes place a few weekends a year. Please refer to the schedule of 2009 below.
