AngelSpace

Be part of the Advent Conspiracy on 22nd November 2009. Taking place from 6-8pm at Rochester Cathedral, AngelSpace will be thinking about the scandal of Christmas – about how we need to subsitute consumption for  compassion.

Sunday saw over 150 young people descend on the Cathedral. Photos and comment will follow, but for the moment we wanted to share with you some of the Psalms people wrote during the evening. Each one was written by lots of different people, each of whom wrote a line – read through them after the break, and see God’s inspiration in each one.

The next event has already been planned for September and we are very excited about it! We have lots of treats in store, so I hope you can come on over to the Cathedral for a great evening!It starts at the usual time of 6pm and will be finished by 8pm. The event is free to all, but there is a cafe, so you may want to bring some cash for that!

Featuring at the next event will be: ‘The Photo Booth’, ‘Giant Games’, ‘Art’, Worship and sooooo much more besides! All of this will be surrounded around a special Holy Communion service. We’re looking forward to seeing you there – look out for the next bunch of flyers, they are coming to a church leader near you! If you would like some flyers to give to your friends, then get in touch!

Well, our ninth AngelSpace came and went last night! We are now in our third year with three more events this year. We had a great night last night with 200 young people from all over the Diocese of Rochester. I am always amazed at how far people come for AngelSpace.

Our theme last night was Poverty & Hope and we had special guests in Christian Aid, USPG and Kent & the Wider World. Each of these organisations identify one project that they are supporting across the world and ask the parish churches in the Diocese to raise money for these projects. I think it is an amazing idea and is headed up by the Bishop of Tonbridge. We weren’t asking young people for money last night but hoped to raise awareness of these projects, the people running them and the organisations who exist to support.

GYFC once again did an amazing job with a fun and action packed simulation game and Jean and Murray did a great job hosting the event. We ended the evening packed into the High Alter where we broke and shared bread ‘for a broken world’. It was an amazing experience and a humbling one. Seeing so many amazing young people in a sacred, holy place singing Taize and a song of lament in the Jeff Buckley song of Alleluia.

So, thank you to Christian Aid, KWW, USPG, Matt and GYFC for all your workshops and activities.

The next AngelSpace event is on Sunday 21st June, 6pm. See you then!

Here we go again! AngelSpace is coming around the corner. I hope you can join us on Sunday 8th February at 6pm for an evening full of fun, worship, faith provoking workshops all around our theme Poverty & Hope! We will be joined by Christian Aid, USPG and Kent & the Wider World doing some very exciting things! Don’t forget it’s a free event and we start at 6pm…you might want some cash for the cafe…hot chocolate is definately on the menu!

See you next week!

300 young people converged on Rochester Cathedral for the first of this year’s AngelSpaces. For those who don’t know, AngelSpace is a diocesan youth worship event for young people at secondary school.
