My happy place

For a number of years Crossroads was very generously given rent-free office space. Earlier this year we moved into bigger premises on the other side of the CBD (two minutes walk away :P). Four churches share the space and up to eight staff might be working here at any one time, plus assorted others. Campbell (aka 'The Master') has an office to himself and the second office is shared. Then there's a big, open space with a giant table, a regular table and two desks. We got rid of a fantastic amount of stuff before moving over, in our dreams of an uncluttered space. The room is light and has nice green walls and views out onto the city buildings and streets. When the Crossroads staff are around, we sit at the big table with our laptops and get on with our work. There's a bit of distraction and silliness but on the whole we're actually pretty good at working silently together. I'm loving the aesthetic and community of this big space.

How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!

It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.

Psalm 133
