Gracious God,
you call us to fullness of life:
deliver us from unbelief
and banish our anxieties
with the liberating love of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
Holy Habits – Sharing Responsibility: Harvest
As we consider all that the land gives us, should we be considering all that God gives us? The soil that is fruitful is good earth, and the farmer plants the seed in expectation of a crop. What does God plant in us that can grow? He gives s gifts and talents, and He, like the farmer, expects a good crop of fruit. The Bible tells us in Galatians 5 v 22-23what the fruits are. Think about your gifts and talents. What fruit are you demonstrating? What could you share?
Sunday Services
It has been wonderful to be able to worship together in person again. We will be increasing the number of services in church in the next weeks, but places are still limited.
If you would like to come, please contact Revd Elizabeth, stating the date, time and place of the church service you wish to attend (Email or phone 07758 407661). If that service is already full, we will let you know.
For more information about Sunday services and what to expect, please visit our website. Those who are unable to attend church in person can worship with us online. Find the latest online services on our website and YouTube.

We are continuing to offer online worship for those who cannot attend on Sundays. From 13th September, this will be a mixture of purpose-made online worship and services recorded in church on the previous Sunday. New online worship will be released every Tuesday morning on our website and on YouTube.
The Julian Group and anyone who would like to join us, meets each in our own home at 7pm every Thursday. We light a candle and read a passage from the Bible followed by silence. Then we read the second passage followed by silence and ending with Compline or our own prayers. Different members choose the readings each week. Thursday 8th October they are Psalm 108 verses 1 to 5 and Romans 11 verses 33 to 36.
Please pray for
The sick, among them Claudia Tom, Rosalind Smith & Jane Windeler and all affected by the coronavirus.
Pray for the NHS, care workers and all front line workers and volunteers. We pray for race equality and for all victims of race crime and brutality.
Remember all those who have died recently including Joan Rowell and Richard Godden. We remember those whose anniversary of death occurs at this time including Ron Howells, Raymond Tucker, David Philp and Ian Waters.
Taking it in turns to pray for each other – this week we pray for St Endellion.
