Armour Of God

This Sunday, Christ Church will hold its Sunday morning gathering as part of the camping trip. The service at St. Kea will continue as usual. In both locations, we will explore what it means to put on the armour of God. 

Talk of armour may seem aggressive and militaristic. Why do we need armour? Is there truly great danger? Are we under any threat? Cornwall, especially this time of year, appears idyllic with its (occasional) sunshine and open waters—not a war zone! Why the dramatic imagery? 

This Sunday, we’ll delve into the reality of the threat. We’ll discover that the struggle we face isn’t merely human; it’s against spiritual forces and a scheming devil. However, we’ll also see that God has fully equipped us to stand firm. 

How does this play out in our everyday lives? How can we practically put on the armour? This week, let’s listen to the God of heaven and earth as He equips us. Whether you’re meeting in the open air or at Kea church, let’s pray for one another, asking that God’s Word would be at work. 

Groups for children and young people continue, refreshments are available before and after the service, and prayer ministry will be available. Regrettably no livestream will be provided this Sunday due to a gap in the rota. We recommend tuning in to St Ebbe’s instead, for their 10am service, using the button below:

Fellowship Evening - TONIGHT

The last fellowship evening of the academic year. All welcome to join us for fellowship, updates and prayer. On this occasion we can’t serve food so just come in time to grab refreshments before a 7.30pm start.

Camping - this weekend!

Below is the information for all campers/day visitors coming along to the Trinity Camping Weekend. The weather is looking good and we have lots of things planned. If you are planning to come to the beach with us on Saturday we will be meeting at Portreath Beach at 2pm. Day visitors still welcome. Sign up by clicking on image above.

Old Kea Service - 21st July

Please join us for our monthly service at Old Kea where Marc Baker will be leading us in Evening Prayer.

Prayer Walk - 11th August

Jenny Stephenson writes…

How do you like to pray? Sitting quietly, or on your knees maybe? How about on your feet? 

Can we challenge you to put on your trainers and come and join us on Sunday 11th August between 3pm and 5pm, to walk around Kea and Playing Place community to pray for those living there and all the activities that take place in this area? A creative way to bring the needs of this community before our Father in Heaven. More details to follow soon.

One Church - Saturday 7th September

Don’t forget to sign up for our ‘One Church’ event happening on Saturday 7th September where we will be coming together with all of the Trinity Churches for a day of teaching, fellowship and fun. The theme for the day will focus on God’s great plan to unite us together in Jesus.

The day will begin at Kea Church at 10am where we will have a time of praise and worship. This will then be followed by two sessions in the main church building led by our guest speaker for the day Rupert Shelley. After many years in ordained youth ministry, Rupert now works for the global Anglican mission organisation BCMS Crosslinks. He will be travelling down to join us from Newbury, where he serves in a multi-parish benefice. Rupert will be helping us to think about 'where all history is heading' as we look at the overarching story of the Bible

Whilst this these sessions are happening there will be activities for children of all ages from 0-16 in the church hall.

After the morning talks and activities have finished we will all head over to the Vicarage at 1pm for an afternoon garden party. There will be food, music, games and most importantly ice-cream!

It is going to be a great event to come together as ‘One Church’ so do sign up using the button below. There is a voluntary contribution forwards the food (which will be a BBQ and Salad). All you need to bring on the day is something to sit on, your plate and some cutlery.

Funding for Nambia scoping trip

Iain and Becky are very grateful for those who have generously contributed towards their costs for this exploratory trip to Namibia in August to determine suitability for longer term mission. Sadly the high cost of flights makes even a short trip like this very expensive and currently they have insuffucient funds to go this summer. If you would like to support them to still make the trip possible this summer, then please do click the image above. If the trip needs to be postponed then Iain and Becky will be in touch to inform supporters about revised plans.

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, we pray for all our children and youth as they come to the end of the academic year at school. We pray for fun, refreshment and a close walk with Jesus throughout the holidays, and for them as they prepare for the next step of their education, whether this is moving year groups, schools or going to university/work. We pray for those going on summer camps or ventures to have a wonderful holiday and get to know Jesus better.

2. Sovereign Lord, we pray for the Wallaces. (See newsletter link above for more prayer points). We praise God for 223 years of faithful ministry at Datchet Baptist Church. We pray that as DBC move into the future they will be a church who continue the long legacy of making disciples, developing leaders and blessing the community.

3. Father God, we thank You for the gift of being ‘One Church’ and we pray now for all the church family who will be attending the Camping Weekend this weekend. We pray that this time together will grow relationships and builds up your church.
