	AngelSpace is back for 2010 and this year we’re going to be thinking about LOVE. We’ve got 4 events planned throughout the year, and we’re going to be using workshops, worship, teaching, and more to unpack who we’re called to love, and what that REALLY means. For those who’ve been before, we’ve planned some changes to AngelSpace, so watch this space. Click after the break for more info!
Make you feel my ….? :: How deep is your ….? ::How deep the Father’s …. for us?

Where is it?	AngelSpace takes place in Rochester Cathedral.

When is it?	There are 4 AngelSpaces in 2010 – 14th February, 11th July, 26th September, and 21st November.

What happens?	Each Angelspace includes worship, crazy games, challenging, fun and inspirational workshops, an open mic stage and a great café to chill out. Over the next four AngelSpaces we’re going to be thinking about Love – what it is and how we can love god, love ourselves, love our neighours, and even love our enemies!

AngelSpace is a joint project of Rochester Cathedal and Rochester Diocesan Board of Education. We ask that each group sends a Leader who will be responsible for their young people during the event.

Advent Conspiracy comes to AngelSpace

youthproject — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 11:19:07 +0000

As the rain fell, young people from all over the Diocese descended upon Rochester Cathedral for the 12th AngelSpace. Those who gathered were there to become part of the Advent Conspiracy – a campaign to think again about what Christmas means to us. Workshops helped us think about worshipping fully, spending less, giving more, and loving all. Check our photographs from the evening here. You can find out more about the Advent Conspiracy here.

Communion at AngelSpace

youthproject — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:03:41 +0000

AngelSpace 11 saw us think about what it meant to be holy. We wrote holy things, made holy things, and thought about holy things, finishing with a eucharist. You can see the photos from the event here. You can see also what everyone got up to in the photobooth by looking at the photos here. You’ll need the password – angelspace.

Psalmists born at AngelSpace

youthproject — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:51:26 +0000

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.

Poverty & Hope @ AngelSpace

rochesterangelspace — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:54:01 +0000

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!

AngelSpace is coming!
