Some Enchanted Evening: A concert of musical theatre and operatic classics by some of the countries finest young singers, including winners of the Chris Treglown Foundation Award.

Following unforgettable performances of Billy Budd last summer, Ryan Wigglesworth returns to conduct Berlioz’s thrilling opera La Damnation de Faust, starring tenor Peter Hoare and baritone Alan Opie. The opening concert sees Debussy’s ravishing Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, Charles Owen plays Ravel’s piano concerto in G major and Aidan Oliver conducts Elgar’s Music Makers, with mezzo soprano Susan Bickley. Our Truro Cathedral programme includes Elgar’s cello concerto, with cellist Timothy Gill and Mozart’s Requiem. Other works featured in the festival include Mahler’s Symphony No 4, Bruckner’s Adagio from his string quintet (arr. string orchestra), Tchaikovsky’s piano trio, Brahms’ clarinet quintet and a late night Broadway extravagana with the Festival Chorus and the “Endellion Little BigBand”.
Ten spectacular performances over ten days. For full details and booking information go to www.endellionfestivals.org.uk.

11am at St Michael, Porthilly
with St Minver Silver Band
We will be delighted to see our friends from Rock Chapel, visiting holiday makers and members of the three churches in the St Minver parish.
We hope the weather will be kind to us in this glorious setting for our service celebrating summer, the sea and holidays and all they mean to us here on the North Cornwall coast.
We are grateful to St Minver Band for their continued support.
During the summer Mini Fingers are opening their doors to children of all ages for play, story, activities and refreshments. every Friday 10-12pm at the Perceval Instutute.
“this is one I made earlier”
In what is thought to be a first for St Minver, the Pet Blessing Service on 10 June brought together people of all ages including the choir from the St Minver Primary school, many with their pets. The Service, led by Marcus Jones, encouraged people to praise all of God’s creation and to give thanks for the joys and responsibilities of owning a pet as well as remembering all those, like vets, who care
for animals.
All the congregation including the pets, mostly dogs but also a cat, guinea pigs and even newts, seemed appreciative and were well behaved. Certainly none of them disturbed
the harmony by attacking another!
Reference was made to St Francis of Assisi whose respect for all creatures as sharing, alongside the human race, in God’s love, helped to change traditional Christian teaching to accept the universality of the natural world and our interdependence.
Part of the collection, just under £100, was given to the St Francis Home for Animals, a dog rescue centre near Newquay that takes in stray and other unwanted dogs, cares for them and places them with suitable new owners to provide them with a happy home for life. The Home has thanked the Church for their generosity and for promoting love and respect for our fellow creatures.

Wednesday 15th August
This year it is a week earlier than usual so that it doesn’t clash with ‘Camel week’. We rely on lots of people who would also be involved in that special sailing event and so have found it necessary to make this decision. Please note it in your diaries and come along to make it as much fun as it always is.
Christian Aid Week this year is from May 13th – 19th
There will be envelopes for any donations, large or small, in each of our 5 churches early in May – this year St Peter’s Port Isaac will be included with St Endellion.
Additional Collect:
God of glory,
by the raising of your Son
you have broken the chains of death and hell:
fill your Church with faith and hope;
for a new day has dawned
and the way to life stands open
in our Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen
