Question
I am wondering why Sunday meetings are no longer mentioned in the diary list?
Answer
Basically the times are still in the diary and I will put in if we have a visiting speaker but I believe that we go to church to meet with the people of God & to meet with Him. I don’t want people to decide that they will go by who is speaking that day, I do not think that is right. What are your thoughts?
THANKS - To Richard (2) and Graham and anyone else that has been involved with the grounds of the building, it looks amazing!

Final Thoughts...
Is God on the move?
I love to hear of stories of other churches around the world where God is moving in amazing ways. We long to see a real move of God in this county of Cornwall. I was really pleased when someone showed me an article in the Observer last Sunday. The headline of the article "As traditional believers turn away, is this a new crisis of faith?" The story is about the Anglican Church, in particular Holy Trinity Brompton and its church planting exercise that is going on in different parts of the country. It seems that many younger people have started attending Anglican churches throughout many different cities. HTB plants "Alpha" type churches where the Spirit of God really is moving. The press question whether this "move of God" is putting off regular worshippers who attend their Anglican church on a Sunday?
It has to be a good thing. When you read the testimonies of these new believers and see what God is doing. If I had one concern then it has to be who are they really following? Does the Church of England like so many in the Methodist church still agree with gay marriage or freemasonry? Is the whole of the Bible still what they are following? Is the challenge to "make disciples" or to just build popular meetings? If you would like to read the full article you can do so online this is the link.
