FIKA Generosity Day – Sat 4th Feb

FIKA is a Swedish term meaning to gather together for sharing, discussion and cake! Truro Diocese Generous Giving Advisor Jenny Wreford will be helping us explore God’s generosity through the Bible and around the world. Using films, articles and activities and allowing reflection and discussion, this relaxed time will help us to cultivate the abundant, generous life God desires for us.

Fabulous Fables with Peter Ursem
Saturday 18th February, 10am-1pm, St Endellion Church, £10
Ever since Aesop’s fables, wise and funny stories, featuring animals as protagonists, have been a part of the literary genre. Artist and writer Peter Ursem recently published The Bigger Picture, a new collection of ‘friendly fables’ in which a colourful group of winged, horned and hoofed friends make the most of living together along the riverside. In this creative writing workshop Peter will help you create a short but thoughtful fable. In fables nothing is impossible, as long as it makes you think and smile.
