Bournemouth Sunday Assembly’s Inaugural Event
Sunday 28th September from 11.00am to 12.30pm
Rooper Hall, 5 Victoria Park Rd, Bournemouth BH9 2RB
September 28th 2014 will be an important day for Sunday Assembly!
Across the world, many new Assemblies will be launching and thousands of people will be coming together to celebrate being alive. Thousands of people who didn’t know each other before will be coming together to form new communities, and the great news is one of them is in Bournemouth!
Sunday Assembly was founded in London in January 2013 by comedians Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans as “all the best bits of church but without the religion, and with awesome pop songs too”. “We are dedicated to helping the people that attend, and the folk in the wider community, to make the most of this one life that we know we have”. “We harness fun, joy and wonder to build communities and to help others”.
Sunday Assembly is for everyone who wants to:
- Live Better. We aim to provide inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people to live the lives they want to lead and be the people they want to be
- Help Often. Assemblies are communities of action, building lives of purpose, encouraging us all to help anyone who needs it to support each other
- Wonder More. Hearing talks, singing, listening to readings and even playing games helps us to connect with each other and the awesome world we live in.
Each service is based around a theme, with a guest speaker, poets and/or comedians and some great pop songs. The theme of the first assembly will be ‘community’.
* Please note that although Sunday Assemblies are regularly referred to as ‘atheist churches’ by the media, Sunday Assemblies welcome everyone, regardless of any theological beliefs they may have.

For everyone interested in finding out more about Sunday assembly, I've heard that Michael Sinel from Bournemouth Sunday Assembly's organising team is being interviewed on Radio Solent at 7:10AM on Thursday 25th September (This is revised from the date/time I mentioned in my earlier comment).
