Churches Together in Poole |

Welcome to the Home Page of Churches Together in Poole. For some time Churches Together in Poole has been in cold storage. That is not to say that nothing has been happening in this beautiful place, quite the opposite, but that we have been struggling to discover a way forward and appoint an organising committee. The Church of Christ is flourishing in Poole and is expressed through the 70+ individual churches, through local area groups of Churches Together, and projects/groups such as Poole Chaplaincy, Faithworks, Hope08, the Poole Strategic Partnership, PACE, the Poole Youth Collective, the Farside and in other ways. Do visit the web site links, and especially the Chaplaincy web site, www.chaplaincypoole.info , which at present fulfils much of the role that Churches Together might in being a point or information and for communication. Nevertheless Churches Together in Poole still has a role in being a reference point for the church, for communication, the sharing of resources and ideas and to hold us together. As a result a recent meeting of interested people from the various area groups and Val Potter, secretary of Churches Together in Dorset, we have now called a special "RELAUNCH MEETING + AGM" for Thursday 12th June 2008 from 12.30 - 2.00pm at Longfleet United Reformed Church (opposite Poole Hospital). E-mail notification will be sent to those we have on the Chaplaincy data base and you are invited to come along. Following the meeting it is our intention to have a "lighter" Churches Together in Poole which will meet about quarterly at lunchtime. We hope that each area group and other interested groups will be represented and come along to share news, build relationship, pray and discover a way forward. One thing we certainly will want to do is to make better use of this web-site and improve communication. Well, that is probably enough for now. We very much hope you will come to the AGM and be an active part of God's purposes for his church in Poole. Thanks. Revd Chris Strain - vicar St Luke's Parkstone and interim acting facilitator! Welcome
