CROWAN CHURCH: The church bells rang to welcome the congregation to the 11am service on Sunday where the Rev Dom Whitting took the service. Readers this morning were Sue and Christine and the lovely flowers were arranged by Sheila and Amanda. Thanks also to Shelia and Amanda for the Fairtrade tea and coffee before the service. The meditation at six service was led by Peter. From June 24 Dom will be saying evening prayers at 5pm each day from Tuesday through to Saturday. All are welcome to join Dom for these short, quiet services of prayer of approximately 20 minutes.

The sun shone for the strawberry afternoon on Saturday hosted at Releath by Shelia and Amanda. As well as the wonderful strawberry cream teas, the bric-a-brac, cake, book and flower and plant stalls raised an amazing £623.50 for church funds. Shelia and Amanda would like to thank everyone who helped and also everyone who came and supported the event.

On Friday, July 4 at 7.30pm, Camborne Town Band will be playing at the St Aubyn Arms in Praze. There will be a barbecue, raffle and bring-and-buy stall to raise money for church funds.
