Story and Sea - Regional gathering
2024-06-08 10:30 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | St Nicolas, Downderry, Downderry, United Kingdom
Fresh Expressions is co-hosting their first regional gathering with the SouthWest Pioneer Hub.
Story & Sea is all about having real conversations about what it means to be a pioneer with people who get what it’s like starting new forms of church.
We’re creating a space where we can share our joys, frustrations and surprises, in the company of friends old and new. It’s a space where your voice matters, where your experiences are valued, and where we come together to feel the warmth and love of a shared story with Jesus.
Our time together will be filled with moments of prayer, worship, spaces to dream big and opportunities to learn about available resources.

Six Hours with Twelve Prophets
2024-09-19 09:30 - 15:30 | Epiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR , United Kingdom
At the end of the (English) Old Testament are twelve prophetic books, commonly called “The Minor Prophets”, mainly because they are shorter in length than the “major” prophets. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is 272 words and lasted two minutes; but it is doubtful whether many people remember a word from Edward Everett’s two-hour speech which preceded it.
In this workshop/retreat we will “helicopter” over these twelve books (were they ever intended as one book?), observing their main themes and reflecting on their relevance for our lives and work today.
Rev Howard Peskett was Senior Hebrew Scholar of Cambridge University. He is a Cornish bard and the Coordinator of the Cornish Bible Project. He has been a teacher in Singapore, Bristol and Rural Dean in Penwith. He has spent a lifetime encouraging believers that they can discover for themselves the meaning and wonder of the Bible as they seek to love and follow Christ.

In the Fullness of Time - A Story from the Past and Future of the Church

We are delighted to welcome Revd Paul Bradbury to Truro to hear about his new book In the Fullness of Time.
Weaving together parable, storytelling, travelogue history and poetry, Paul journeys from rural Norfolk to inner-city London, from a radical missional community in Lincolnshire, to a traditional village parish in Dorset, to explore what the church looks like today, and how local parish communities are wrestling with the tensions between the value of inherited church, and the need to look to the future.
