This Week - Confidence Now

Certainty about what will happen in the end always builds confidence along the way. 

If you are certain it is going to be sunny, you can have the confidence to leave your umbrella at home. If you are certain you will get paid at the end of the month, you can have the confidence to spend money on food and rent in advance. If you are certain that the recipe will make a beautiful cake, you can have the confidence to combine the ingredients and put them in the oven. 

It is a simple point – but one we struggle to learn in the church. This week, as we continue our series, The King and His Kingdom, Jesus is going to give us certainty about his kingdom and certainty about the end. Jesus is going to promise us that God’s word will accomplish amazing things in the world; he will promise us that the kingdom of God will grow and cannot be stopped. 

If we have such certainty about the future, how might we be more confident as we live for Jesus now? Come and join us as we explore certainty and confidence in the kingdom of God.  

Join us before and after the service for refreshments and children and young peoples groups will continue.

Left To Their Own Devices

On Tuesday 12 November, we will be running a video-based session from Care for the Family to help parents address the challenges of the online world that our children inhabit. This will be a great chance to come along explore the impact of the digital world on our children and discuss issues such as screen time, social media alongside the more serious issues of online bullying, grooming and pornography. We’ll be based at St Kea from 7.00-8.30pm during the regular Tuesday Night Youth group session – younger siblings are welcome to attend youth group that evening to allow parents to attend if needed.

Weekly Prayer Points

Each week there will be a few things for our church life and church family that we can join in praying for:

1. Father God, thank you for opportunity this season brings to invite friends and family into the church with the different events which are happening. We pray for those who will be coming into the church for the first time, that they may want to find out more about you.

2. Gracious God, we give thanks that people are being referred to Truro Foodbank for help. We pray that the continuing decline in food donations during the year will be reversed and will meet the demand. We thank you all the Harvest donations from churches and schools.

3. We pray for the last women’s breakfast of the year in November. We thank you that women have been able to meet throughout the year to read your word and build relationships together. As we look ahead to next year we pray the planning for 2025 will bring even more women together and grow in their faith. We thank you for the men’s ministry in our church, for the current opportunities and for the possibility of further developing men’s ministry across Truro.
