FROM REVEREND ROBIN                                                                 

July is a busy month for the Churches across the Benefice. We have a special guest coming to Blisland Church to preside and preach on the 27th at their Five O’clock Service. Everyone is invited to this service and to stay afterwards for refreshments as we are joined by Bishop Hugh (The Bishop of St Germans).

This has come about after members of Blisland Church staged a protest at the Church of England’s failings in regards to safeguarding. By choosing to donate a percentage of the money that would usually be sent to Truro to a children’s charity, this small rural Church was able to make its voice heard.

We will also see the return of the yearly Hymns and Pimms service at St Breward Church on 20th July at 18:00. Again, open to everyone to come and sing some classic bangers (If a hymn written over one hundred years ago can be called a banger) and drink some Pimms (soft drinks are available).

River Baptisms are returning on the 13th at Delphi Bridge at 13:00. If you haven’t been christened but always thought you would like to be. If you would rather be baptised outside on the moors rather than in a church then please do get in touch.

Over the last two years we have seen ten people baptised in the river and we will keep going so even if you can’t make this one please do get in touch.

Temple Church will be holding its summer service on the 20th at 16:00 and at 10:00 there will be a Benefice Service held at St Tudy Church.

On top of all of this, the St Tudy Carnival will see your Rector cutting his hair! Please do donate if you haven’t already and if you would like the chance to be the one to cut my hair then raffle tickets will be available on the day.

I pray that you all have a wonderful July and I hope to see you at any of the many wonderful things we have going on around our incredible villages.
