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’.

Botallack Mine film show to aid Paul church window appeal
2015-07-28 19:30 - 21:00 | St Pol De Leon, Mousehole Ln, Penzance, Cornwall, Tr1 9UD, United Kingdom
The series of events to raise funds for the restoration of the East Window in Paul Church continues on Tuesday, July 28, with a film and commentary by John Potter about the iconic Botallack Mine.
Tickets for the evening, which starts at 7.30pm in the church hall, cost £5. They include a glass of wine and some snacks.
The window is an amazing piece of Arts and Crafts design by Robert Anning Bell, a notable craftsman of the time. It was commissioned by the Bolitho family as a memorial to their elder son Torquill McLeod Bolitho, who was killed during the Battle of Ypres on 24th May 1915 at the age of 22.
Churchwarden Mary Wooding said: “The glass of the window is still in good condition but the stone which holds it is crumbling away and the entire frame needs to be replaced. We think the whole project, which will include removing the glass, cleaning it and repairing the lead where necessary and then re-installing it, will cost at least £130,000.
“We’re applying for grants, and the PCC has committed funds from reserves but we want to raise as much as we can ourselves. We held an event this time last year which started the fund off, and during this centenary year we’re organising several events.

“Next week’s about Botallack promises to be very popular. Those who have heard him speak before say it’s an excellent and entertaining evening”

CMED Course- Liturgical Rules, Why We Need Them
2015-07-20 17:45 - 21:00 | Epiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR, United Kingdom
with Revd Lesley Walker
Writing in the Forward to the book Liturgy, Order and Law John Hapgood says:
“Worship uniquely expresses the mind of the church and encapsulates its doctrine.”
In reality the doctrine and teaching of the Church of England is enshrined in the Book of Common Prayer, the 39 Articles of Religion and the Ordinal. It is for this reason that those who are involved in the planning and leading of worship need to have some understanding of liturgical law.
There will always be those who question the need for any rules or control and there will inevitably be parishes where little attention is paid to them. As the Church of England has developed its new liturgies and has encouraged more informal worship aimed at appealing to the young and the un-churched the need for clear guidelines has become even more important. There needs to be an increased awareness amongst those responsible for maintaining and ordering the worshipping life of the Church. In turn as those responsible for planning and leading worship we do need to have an understanding of the legal frameworks we are required to work by, what they are and why they are there. This is important not only to safeguard the Church of England but also to protect worshippers from those clergy and parishes who seek to set themselves apart from our common heritage and tradition.
The aim of this session is not to be prescriptive but to help us to embrace the worship we hold in common while celebrating the diversity that is possible within today’s Church of England.
Lesley has been Rector of the Meneage Benefice since 2007. Her interest in liturgy began as a Curate and has continued throughout her ministry. She was secretary to Hereford Diocesan Liturgical Committee for 10 years and has been involved in training clergy, ordinands, Readers and Lay Worship Leaders in both Hereford and Canterbury. She has recently been involved in the setting up of a Liturgical Committee for this diocese.
Note: This event is a joint CMED/IME Phase 2 (curates) session.

with Revd Canon Pat Robson MBE
Soon after Rome withdrew its troops in 410AD Britain was invaded by large numbers of displaced peoples from Europe. Many Britons fled ahead of the invasion to hide in the valleys of Wales or to make a new home in NW Gaul. The Brits became a refugee people, anxious about the safety of their families, desperate to find land where they could settle in peace and determined to keep their Christian faith alive. Over the next 200 years, while the British Church was cut off from the mainstream church in Europe, it developed some unique customs and beliefs that are still held dear by the British people to this day.
Pat is a retired priest and teacher.
