The bells called the congregation to St Crewenna church on Sunday, August 17, to the 11am service with the Rev Dom. The Readers this morning were Christine and Sue and the music was played by Christine, the lovely flowers were provided by Christine. Fair Trade tea and coffee was on offer before the morning service and thanks to Amanda and Shelia for that.

Sunday saw the baptism of Alfie at Crowan Church and of Lilly at Treslothan; the church family welcome them into the fellowship of God's church. We pray for them, their parents and godparents as well as their families and friends. At 6pm the Meditation at Six service was led by Peter and Evening Prayer is held at 5pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Thanks are sent to Shelia and David Goldsworthy for hosting a lovely coffee morning in their garden at Trothwall Farm. Over £200 was raised for church funds.

It will be a lovely evening and hopefully everyone will be able to come along to welcome them.

The “fish and chip babies” are so called because in Africa babies are sometimes wrapped in newspaper as there is no clothing. The members of the Craft and Chatter group are still making hats, jumpers, teddy bears and cot blankets. If you have any spare double knit wool that can be used, please let them know. The group will be taking all that they have produced to the next collection on November 5 at Camborne Wesley Church.
