Work:space groups will take a two week break over the Christmas period from 24/12/12  and will be back every week in term time from 7/1/13.    We wish you peace and every blessing this Christmas season.

The new year will see the Work:space at Cafe No. 34 move to every Wednesday 1:15pm-1:45pm.    This session, run by Paul Bradbury, is promoted to RNLI staff and is open to all who would like to come.  So if you are in the Poole High Street area for any reason on a Wednesday why not pop into the cafe and try out Work:space for yourself.   The group usually meet in a room on the second floor.

Work:space will continue to run at the Civic Centre 1:00pm-1:30pm on Tuesdays and at Barclays House 1:00pm-1:30pm on Wednesdays.

Twelve people attended the second Work:space PLUS half day retreat in the beautiful surroundings of Holton Lee in November.  This time we offered one-to-one listening as well as group sessions, an optional workshop and space for quiet reflection.  For many this was their first Work:space retreat and they valued time out as well as meeting old and new friends.  One participant enjoyed “Having the quiet space just to be.”

Look out for dates for the next Work:space Plus events coming in 2013.

All the work:space groups are now breaking for the summer as many people are away. They will all be starting again in early September.

Poole Missional Communities, the parent charity that runs work:space, has started running a community cafe on Poole High St. Called No34. It is situated opposite the site of the old Woolworths at the heart of Poole twon centre (www.facebook.com/No34Cafe) . Before Easter work:space RNLI met there for one session and the suggestion emerged to make it a regular venue. As a result this work:space is now open to anyone who would like to come. We meet from 1.15 – 1.45pm in the lovely first floor lounge above the cafe itself. If you feel the need for some silence and stillness at the end of busy working week do join us.
