National Prayer Weekend
2016-09-23 - 2016-09-25
National Prayer weekend is taking place from 23 – 25 September. For further information and how you can join in visit the website http://www.national-prayer-weekend.com/

Prayer, Mindfulness and Reflection
2016-09-23 - 2016-09-25
Our lives are full of noise. We are connected and contactable by anyone, at anytime and anywhere. There is little space to be still, reflect and to pray.
The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are being recognized as being good for our mental wellbeing. These have been recognized by Christians since the beginning of the early church, some 2,000 years ago.
During this National Weekend of Prayer (Friday 23rd – Sunday 25th September 2016) , the Benefice Churches of St George and St John in Truro would like to invite you, to come along, allow yourself some space and time. A moment to be still, to be at peace and to be in the presence of our God.
You are welcome, whatever your background. This is an opportunity to explore, to ask God those questions you have wanted to ask, to encounter the living God.

Many in overall leadership will have those who lead with them. This day identifies some of the common issues for those in the second chair, explores how to work with those tensions but also realise the benefits, and offers a forum to share concerns and struggles.
Charles is a leadership specialist with CPAS. He has many years of practical leadership experience both from a career in the RAF and, in the last seven years, through his role with CPAS. CPAS currently work with over 20 dioceses in supporting them as they seek to build and strengthen a culture of collaborative leadership, including developing and enabling vision, changing culture, building teams and developing missional leadership. To this end, Charles facilitates various leadership development events across the UK, from individual days to longer-term programmes. He also mentors clergy in developing their leadership development skills.

Truro Cathedral Choir and the City of London Sinfonia on 30 September at 7:30 pm
Spectacular, rousing and awe-inspiring – Handel’s Coronation Anthems are made for the great settings of our nation’s cathedrals, resounding under their vast stone vaults for hundreds of years. Spanning those centuries, James MacMillan, one of Britain’s most revered composers, has written his own anthem especially for this national tour with support from Friends of Cathedral Music. And Bach’s music is poignant elegance in sound, synonymous with perfection. There are few sounds as stirring as our cathedral choristers raising their voices in song, and they really soar when united with an orchestra like the world-class City of London Sinfonia.

CMED Course - Preaching with conviction
2016-10-07 10:30 - 16:00 UTC | Tamar Valley Methodist Church, Albaston , PL18 9EP, United Kingdom
with Mr Paul Johns
To be good preachers we need to know our Bible. It’s the preacher’s book. There’s always more to learn from it; there are always fresh ways of interpreting it. We also need to be good at engaging with the congregation, so that people feel we’re talking with them not at them. We need to keep fresh our speaking skills.
But above all we need to display conviction! You may not be a great biblical scholar, or a gifted orator. But if you can speak from the heart about Jesus Christ, witness to the truth of what you say from your own experience, then, while not everyone may agree with you, ‘they will know that there has been a prophet among them’. (Ezek. 2:15)
So preaching with conviction in a culture of doubt and scepticism – that’s the main theme of this day together. Let’s look afresh at the ways

we use the Bible in our preaching;
reflect on our personal experiences;
interpret what’s going on in the world around us
shape our sermons and share them with the congregation.

And on the way, we’ll look back to John and Charles Wesley, Anglican priests who founded the Methodist movement. The Spirit led them to proclaim the gospel afresh for their times. Will the same Spirit lead us to do the same for ours? The answer is YES
‘And let me live to preach Thy word’ (Charles Wesley).
Paul Johns has been a Methodist local preacher for many years, and for six years until recently Director of the College of Preachers. He has degrees in history and theology. He used to contribute to BBC 4’s ‘Thought for the Day’, has been Managing Director of Traidcraft, and Chair of CND. When not living in the world of preaching in this country, Paul spends time in Bosnia working on behalf of Coventry Cathedral on a project called ‘Schools for Peace’.

2016-10-11 10:00 - 16:00 UTC | St Mary’s Church, Chapel Street , Penzance, TR18 4AQ, United Kingdom
with members of the Penlee Cluster
The ability to live stream worship gives us great opportunities and challenges as we reach out beyond the doors of our church buildings. This day aims to be a very practical one as together we explore live streaming.
Among other questions we will explore “why live stream worship?” issues involved in live streaming” and “how to live stream simply”. We will explore what it might mean to worship through across the Internet. There will be a chance to have a go, reflect on the process and refine what we do.
This day should be of interest to all who lead worship, have pastoral contact with people and those with an interest in the actual physical steaming.
This event will be lead by staff in the Penlee Cluster as part of their e-waves project initiative of doing church differently sponsored by the Bishop’s Den. Although the day will take place in Penzance part of the day will be able to be accessed remotely as participants try out live streaming.
