Join us this Sunday

We are looking forward to seeing you all again this Sunday for our penultimate week looking at Acts. This week we are looking at Global Generosity.

Children’s groups will continue and refreshments will be served both before and after the service. Prayer ministry will also be available after the service; do ask other church member or speak to the service leader.

This Saturday - Women’s Breakfast

The next Women’s Breakfast with our friends across the Trinity Churches is on Saturday 15th July at 8.30-10am. This will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a lovely breakfast while reflecting on great Bible truths together. We are continuing our series on ‘Jesus through the Eyes of the Women who met him’ and at this session will look at Jesus the Healer. Newcomers are particularly welcome – so please do use the sign-up link below to book a place if you can join us! 

Final Equip Small Group

This week we have our final Small Group week of the term. This session is a special session, quite unlike the others, and everyone will have the opportunity to share their hopes and desires for living for Christ for the year or years ahead.

Do make sure that our evening on the 20th July is in your diary - an evening of commitment and praise. This is the finale of EQUIP. We will be gathering at St Kea Church for a BBQ at 5:30pm. At 6:30pm we will join together in a time of praise and thanksgiving led by a wonderful band from both congregations. As part of that time, we will each have the opportunity to share how we want to offer our lives in the service of God. (There will be informal provision for the children.)

These final steps in the journey of discovery will be powerful for everyone taking part. To find out more about joining EQUIP groups, please get in touch with Debs in the office at debras@trinitytruro.org.uk

CC Baptism and Newcomers Cake

We are really excited to be holding our Baptism and Affirmation service at Debs and Tim Stanhope’s House on Sunday 23rd July.

The service will start at the usual time of 9.30 outside in the garden. Some chairs will be available but if you have a camping chair please bring it along. We will be baptising some of our church members in the pool and celebrating together. There will be worship and teaching as well. It will be the last week our children will be meeting together before their summer break so they will be having an end of year party in their groups.

Afterwards, everyone is invited to a bring and share lunch in the garden as well as a swim in the pool. There will be a sign-up sheet in church for the next few weeks so please say if you are able to bring a sweet or savory dish to share.

There will also be an opportunity for anyone who is new to Christ Church to enjoy cake and coffee and find out more about the life of our church.

It will be a really wonderful time to celebrate as a church family. Leading up to the 23rd, we continue to pray for everyone committing to this. Debs and Tim’s address can be found on ChurchSuite. If you need transport to their house please let the church office know at debras@trinitytruro.org.uk

Save the date - 27th July

Save the date - the next Christ Church Prayer Meeting is happening on Thursday 27th July 7:30pm at Alan and Jean Stanhope’s home. More information to follow nearer the time.

Summer Sundays at Moresk

We are really excited about launching our new summer series called ‘The Flipped Kingdom’ which starts on Sunday 30th July. The series will follow Jesus and his disciples through the book of Matthew. As they travel around Galilee we will discover his upside down, counterculture way to live. His kingdom is unlike any earthly kingdom.

Services will be all age and have interactive activities for everyone to enjoy.

We wont be meeting in our usual venue over the summer (from 30th July - 3rd Septermber), but instead will be at the Moresk Centre, which is located just down the hill from ABB school.

Save the date - Sunday 20th August

We will be meeting for our annual trip to the beach on Sunday 20th August at 10am. There will not be a service on this day. More information on this event to follow.

Accommodation Needed

St Kea and Christ Church have been a placement church for several South West Youth Ministry interns over the years. This has been a great blessing to our church family and also to the interns themselves, as they sacrificially set aside time to train for youth ministry.

We are delighted to have an opportunity to see an intern placed with us again this year. The next stage in the process is to try and find a potential host for all (or part) of the year from September to July. If you have a spare room or annexe and might be able to help then please do get in touch for further details/to explore the possibility. No commitment is required at this stage.

Weekly Prayer Points

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

1. This week we pray for The Rose family as they prepare to move away to Chichester. We pray that the logistics of moving house goes smoothly and everyone in the family settle into their new life.

2. We thank God for the work of Compassion UK. Please pray as they lead their next online speaker training course in September. They will be equipping and inspiring those with a passion for speaking and an enthusiasm to see children released from poverty. Please also pray that it will be a significant time for those attending the training when hearing from sponsored children and Compassion graduates.

3. We praise God for St Clements Church and the outreach work they do in the community.
