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’.

This colourful, melodious piece is considered among the very greatest of Mozart’s chamber music masterpieces. The addition of the second viola clearly interested Mozart, who was a viola player himself.

CMED Course- Dealing With The Basic Issues Of Biblical Scholarship In Today's Church
2015-11-06 10:00 - 16:00 | The Shire House Suite, Mount Folly, Bodmin, PL31 2DQ, United Kingdom
with Revd Canon Dr Stephen Dawes
Dealing with the basic issues of Biblical scholarship in today’s Church: All priests, ministers, Readers and Local Preachers are trained in what we might call classic Biblical scholarship and have been for over a century. Yet often when interested lay people are introduced to some of the mildest and most commonplace ideas of classic Biblical scholarship they ask ‘Why have we not heard this before?’ Why indeed. This session will explore the gap between the classroom and the pulpit and the strange silence of a century of Biblical scholarship in today’s church. It will work on the assumption that if the Church of England is to be true to Hooker and the Methodist Church to Wesley and Peake, that dangerous gap must be closed.
Stephen is a retired Methodist minister and Canon Theologian of Truro Cathedral.
