CMED Course- Hearing God's Voice Through Selected Psalms
2015-06-29 10:00 - 16:00 | Epiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR, United Kingdom
with Revd Howard Peskett
“Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a lamp to my path.”
A missionary friend in North Thailand, sensing a great darkness, felt the Lord give her Psalm 62. The next day she found her husband’s body and that of a friend on a lonely mountain track. The psalms are the church’s oldest hymn book. They have shone in dark ages, times of reformation, times of revival. They have strengthened housewives, soldiers, the sick, sailors, scholars, the housebound, poets, writers. Psalm 83 was read in the Czech parliament in August 1968 as Russian tanks rumbled through the streets. Psalm 27.1 is the motto of Oxford University. Psalm 127.1 is engraved on the foundation of the Eddystone Lighthouse. Bishop Ridley read Psalm 4.8 and slept well the night before he was burned. On 28th October 1885 Bishop Hannington, one of the first missionaries in Uganda, wrote in his diary, “I am quite broken down and brought low. Comforted by Psalm 27.” The next day he was hacked to pieces by the king’s soldiers. There are hundreds of other examples in Lord Ernle’s book, The Psalms in Human Life, published in 1909.
The habit of reading or singing the psalms in church has declined. If we attended the principal Sunday service every Sunday for three years, and read the psalm prescribed for that service from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), at the end of those 153 Sundays we would only have read 47 complete psalms; parts of 41 other psalms; and 62 psalms would have been entirely omitted.
Unlike most song books, the Psalms contain songs for every mood. They are the heritage of the universal church, our birthright. On this study day, we will:

survey the whole book, to feel its shape and texture;
dig into five psalms, all ones unused by the RCL: a praise psalm; a lament; a dark psalm; a cry for justice and a Messianic psalm;
sing some psalm songs in various styles, location permitting;
listen for and to the voice of God through these songs, deepening our understanding of these songs as revelation from God through human experience.

Howard Peskett is a retired priest living in Penzance, formerly the Dean of the Discipleship Training Centre in Singapore; the Vice Principal of Trinity College Bristol; the Rural Dean of Penwith. He has spent a lifetime encouraging men and women, in Asia and in the UK, to believe that they can themselves discover the meaning and the wonder of the Bible as they seek to love and follow Christ.

Falmouth Filling Station
2015-06-15 19:30 - 21:00 | Penmorvah Manor Hotel, Budock Water, Falmouth , TR11 5ED, United Kingdom
A new way of exploring the Christian faith has come to the Falmouth at the Penmorvah Manor Hotel, Budock Water in the form of a ‘Filling Station’ meeting.
This is a new form of worship designed for people who feel a spiritual need for God but may feel that for some reason, they can’t come to church. It has been found that The Filling Station will fulfil their needs.
These are a new cafe-style Christian celebrations which take place in venues such as village halls, converted barns, hotels & cafes across the country. They are relaxed and informal gatherings on a week day evening and give a different style of Christian experience.
The Filling Station movement was founded in a village in Wiltshire in 2006 and the new Falmouth Area Filling Station is the 52nd Filling Station to be set up across the UK, France, South Africa, Canada and Switzerland; it is the first in Cornwall. Many leaders from a variety of Christian communities including Falmouth, are excited about what they bring to an area. Over 2,500 people attend a Filling Station gathering somewhere each month.
The Falmouth Area Filling Station will take place on the 3rd Monday of a month, starting at 7.30pm. The gatherings will include celebration, learning about being a Christian, personal experience, reflection and discussion as well as high quality refreshments and fellowship. The meetings are free and open to all.
Charles Neate, of the team hosting the meetings, said ‘In a culture more familiar with cafes than Gothic church buildings, we are presenting the central core of our Christian faith in a manner, and unusual location that will appeal to a lot of people outside the traditional church’.
For more information contact Mr Charles Neate on: 01326 372742 or visit: thefillingstation.org.uk and look for the ‘Falmouth’ web page.

CMED Course- Reaching The Saga Generation
2015-06-15 10:00 - 13:00 | Archdeacon’s House, 4 Park Drive, Bodmin, PL31 2QF
with Revd Canon Dave Elkington and Revd Roger May
You will have heard about Saga holidays, Saga magazine, Saga Insurance all aimed at those aged 50 and over. They are the ageing baby boomer generation (1945 – 65). They were once described as the ‘first teenagers’. People like Bryan Ferry, Jane Seymour, Harrison Ford and Twiggy are the faces of the Saga generation.
There are many misunderstandings about what it means today to be a ‘pensioner’.
In this event we will look at:

The make up of the Saga generation
Distinctive Features of the Saga generation
Their search for spiritual values
Where different groups are starting from in this quest
Why the church needs more older people
Ideas that will appeal to the Saga generation
Material that may be suitable for evangelism
Share examples of good practice
Hopefully have a fun time as well as examine this important area of the church’s mission.

He is particularly interested in the place and nature of sport in the life and outreach of the local church and has been chaplain to Newcastle Falcons RUFC.
