My name is Phoebe Larcombe and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining this amazing community. From the moment I walked through the doors, I have been met with such warmth and kindness from all of you. Thank you for making me feel so welcome!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my role here, I have a full and vibrant life outside of work. I am married and have two beautiful children who constantly remind me of the importance of compassion and care. Our family is also lucky to have a furry friend \u2013 a loveable dog, Bella, who brings boundless joy to our home.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford Quakers has kindly allowed me extended time to hand over my previous role as School Office Manager to my successor. As a result, I will be working fewer hours until September when I will begin working 24 hours a week as Deputy Manager.<\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m not busy with the responsibilities of work you\u2019ll often find me out and about in nature. I love walking through woods, fields, and along the river, taking in the beauty that surrounds us. There\u2019s something truly magical about being in nature that restores my spirit and brings me peace.<\/p>\n<p>I am genuinely excited to be a part of this incredible community and to work alongside all of you in furthering our shared mission. I invite you to come and say hello whenever you have a moment. Together, we can continue to nurture a space that fosters understanding, supports one another, and works towards positive change in our society. I believe that building connections and nurturing our community is at the heart of what we do.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you once again for your warm welcome. I am truly grateful to be here and look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.<\/p>\n<p>With peace and friendship, Phoebe<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>This Month&#8217;s Forty-Three Newsletter Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"lcp_catlist\" id=\"lcp_instance_0\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/\">August 2023<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/love-in-action-for-oxford-meeting\/\">Love in Action for Oxford Meeting<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/oxford-quaker-meeting-august-appeal-peace-works-zimbabwe\/\">Oxford Quaker Meeting August Appeal: Peace Works Zimbabwe<\/a><\/li><li class=\"current\">Hello<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/august-11th-workshop-exploring-quaker-christianity\/\">August 11th Workshop \u2013 Exploring Quaker Christianity<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/welcoming-and-caring-at-11-oclock\/\">Welcoming and caring at 11 o\u2019clock<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/oxford-open-doors-outreach-event-9-and-10-september-2023\/\">Oxford Open Doors Outreach Event 9 and 10 September 2023<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/communal-living-at-penington-friends-house\/\">Communal Living at Penington Friends House<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/from-quaker-faith-and-practice-2-11\/\">From Quaker Faith and Practice 2.11<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/meetings-for-worship-august-2023\/\">Meetings for Worship August 2023<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-glossy fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-up-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #0315a3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/oxfordquaker.com\/newsletter\/august-2023\/\">Back to August 2023 Newsletter Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Forty-Three<\/em> Newsletter \u2022 Number 532 \u2022 August 2023<br \/>\n<\/strong>Oxford Friends Meeting<br \/>\n43 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:newsletter@oxfordquakers.org\">newsletter@oxfordquakers.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Copyright 2023, Oxford Quakers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phoebe Larcombe I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself as the new Deputy Manager here at the Meeting House.
