2015-10-23 10:00 - 16:00 | All Saints Tuckingmill Centre, Church View Road , Camborne , TR14 8RQ , United Kingdom
with Revd Andrew Yates
Many churches have discovered the benefits of working in partnership with others. Often with other churches but also working together with other agencies in both the statutory and voluntary sectors.
Some are nervous that this can put at risk our Christian distinctiveness and others that our financial independence can become compromised.
But there are some excellent examples across the County of Churches’ Mission being enhanced by such partnerships and next October offers an opportunity to come and visit such good practice and discuss in depth some of the underlying issues.
Andrew is the Diocesan Social Responsibility Officer and Priest in the Penlee Cluster.

Falmouth Filling Station
2015-10-19 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- Discovering The Big Story Of The Bible And Our Part In It
2015-10-19 10:00 - 16:00 | Epiphany House, Truro, TR1 3DR, United Kingdom
with Revd Howard Peskett
“As the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55.10,11).
What is this large book which all Christians treasure but so few Christians read? John Wesley wrote, “I want to know the way to heaven; God has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me the book of God!” George Whitefield found light and life and power from above when he “.. began to read the Holy Scriptures upon my knees, laying aside all other books and praying over, if possible, every line and word. This proved meat indeed and drink indeed to my soul.” John Keble wrote of the bible, “Who that hath felt thy glance of dread/ Thrill through his heart’s remotest cells,/ About his path, about his bed,/ Can doubt what Spirit in thee dwells!”
On this study day we will helicopter over the whole terrain of scripture. We will study the shape of the bible, especially the Old Testament. We will study the place of Jesus Christ as the focus of prophetic testimony and apostolic witness. We will summarise the process by which these 66 books have come to have a unique authority for Protestant Christians (with a brief side-glance to the Apocrypha). We will discuss how today we can live within the Bible’s great, continuing story; how we can inhabit this story; how we can perform this drama; how we are ourselves (or not) the greatest translation of scripture as it becomes visible in our lives. And finally we will choose our own TWELVE WORDS to summarise the great story of the bible, which we can use as we seek to share the good news (the gospel) with others.
Augustine said, “We understand not by active intellect at work on the OBJECT but by contemplative turning, by love, desire and delight.” This is the spirit in which we will approach this day.
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.
