28.03.12 Christ in the Passover
An evening with Jews for Jesus

Many from our church and also from other churches in Newquay joined together to partake in a traditional Jewish Passover meal and to learn of its significance for the Christian.
Leading us and instructing us throughout the evening was Julia Pascoe, one of the missionaries from "Jews for Jesus", who also led us in the traditional Jewish music as we went through the evening.  It was a wonderful event, thoroughly enjoyed by all who came.
(A photograph or two of the evening will be posted here shortly)

 unexpectedly, was taken home to be with the Lord today, Friday 27th August.  Mo, like her late husband, Peter, served this church for over 40 years.  She was a lady who meant so much to so many people, both in the church and outside the church, and held a special place in the hearts of us all.  She will be sorely missed.

Gil, part of the team that came last year, came over to work in the church on his own this year.  It was a great week, which culminated in Gil speaking at a Guest Service on Sunday 9th August.  We look forward to Gil's return, hopefully with the rest of the team next year.

Visit of Missionaries Wayne Lawther and his family and Moira his co-worker in Senegal
Starting with a faith meal on the Saturday afternoon, We all really enjoyed a fantastic time of fellowship, worship and sharing with Wayne, Moira and Wayne's family (Inno, Oumou and John).  On the Sunday morning Wayne shared God's word with us and in the evening, together with Moira, brought news of their work in Senegal.
It has left us with much to think about - we look forward to supporting them in the future and to their next visit to us.

Using the new Baptistery!31.03.08
New Baptistery!
– we recently bought a new Portable Baptistery. Until now we have performed adult baptisms in a nearby hotel swimming pool, which has been great, except that the older members of the congregation have not been able to attend. It was a great day for the church on February 24th when we were able to have two adult baptisms in the main church building – a wonderful occasion!
