This Sunday - Baptism service

Please do join us this coming Sunday as we celebrate the work of God in our lives. We have several candidates for baptism and others affirming their baptismal vows. It promises to be wonderful occasion. We will be returning to Acts 4 to look at the content of Peter and John’s message and how it highlights the gracious salvation found in Jesus.

Our usual groups Sunday Club groups will run, with secondary age young people staying in the service. Refreshments will be served before and after the service and a livestream will be broadcast.

Accommodation needed for a potential SWYM intern

St Kea has 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.

After no placement opportunities with us being available last year we are delighted to have a better chance of having an intern placed with us 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.

Slip and Slide - This Sunday

Still time to book in to join with this. At time of writing there are still spaces for the 2-3pm time slot. Please book directly with the company and note that young people are under parental supervision whilst on site. We will need to access the slip & slide from the playing place roundabout.

Consultation of stakeholders - This Friday

We are thankful for those who came on the 10th June to our first Trinity Youth ‘stakeholders’ meeting. Following on from this, we are inviting feedback from parents and young people. The form for this can be accessed here and we’d be grateful for your responses as we plan and build teams for the future. Our second stakeholder meeting is this Friday 7th July in the Lychgate at Kenwyn Church. You can sign up to attend below.

SPREE weekend away

Sam Payne, our part time youth worker writes: It was an absolute joy being able to take 20 young people, from 3 congregations to SPREE SW this year. It was an action-packed weekend in the sunshine, with so much to do from Axe Throwing to Spree's Got Talent, Crafts to Fairground rides. The young people had a huge amount of fun, but more importantly were able to learn what it means to be a follower of Jesus. It was amazing to see just how well they engaged in the main sessions, as they considered the joys and cost of following Jesus. One highlight for me, was seeing how well the young people interacted with each other, supporting and encouraging one another and enjoying each others company... We are already looking forward to going again next year! 

Everything we do is funded by you

It is wonderful to hear what our youth have been up to at Spree, and such a delight we have a children and youth budget for activities such as these to use to enable our children to grow in their faith.

We cannot thank you enough for supporting Kea Church in our vision and ministry to grow the gospel and would love to have more activities such as this for years to come.

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! 

On the 20th July the small groups who have been doing Equip this year will be gathering at St Kea Church for an evening of food, worship and commitment. The evening starts at 5.30pm for a BBQ and then we will be having time of praise and thanksgiving led by a wonderful band from both congregations from 6.30pm.

This event is open to all, even if you have not done Equip, and will be a wonderful opportunity to share how we can offer our lives in the service of God and also support others in the commitments they will be making.
