We won't be having our usual service on the last Sunday of August, but we couldn't go a whole month without any Open Space goodness! We'll be meeting for a picnic at South Parks at 6pm on Sunday instead. Bring your own food, and looking at the forecast, a blanket to sit on!

Are you really a church service until you have a rota? We'd love to invite you to help us whether through Welcoming people, helping set up and clean up the service and meal, or reading during the service. If you are interested please let us know here: forms.gle/To83vfJcvWkM...

We’re looking forward to coming together this Sunday, the 27th April, for the second gathering of Open Space. Our theme will be ‘Resurrection’. Join us at St Mary and St John, Cowley at 6pm for some good food, and 7:15pm for queer theology, prayer, and reflective space - all very welcome.

Here at Open Space we try to ‘Learn the unforced rhythms of grace’ (Matthew 11:29). Today, looking at the Supreme Court ruling, it’s hard to feel much grace about anything.

We’ve spent the last week or so recovering and reflecting from our first meeting at the end of March - and looking ahead for what’s next! Were you at our first meeting of Open Space? Let us know how you found it!

It’s Trans Day of Visibility today. Know that you are loved, valued and affirmed. #MoreThanWelcome

Open Space is an ecumenical Christian event, open to those of all faiths and none. We’ve had a lot of thoughts about how to approach this, and about the culture and community we want to grow.
