Members enjoyed an excellent demonstration on Thursday afternoon by Jenny Walters and Marion Trathen from Camborne.

Between them they produced six amazing arrangements with colours ranging from blues, oranges, white, reds, pinks etcetera. A truly colourful display. The arrangements were all raffled off at the end of the afternoon, much to the delight of the winners. This was followed by a refreshing cup of tea/coffee and biscuits.

Cornerstone Church, Torpoint, was buzzing with memories and friendship on Saturday, September 20, as people gathered for a special Gift and Reminiscing Day.

Old photographs and memorabilia sparked lively conversations, reminding us of the church’s place at the heart of the community through the years.

Sincere thanks go to the mayor Cllr Julie Martin for her support and to all who donated photographs, plus thanks to Torpoint Archives for the loan of images which made the display so special. The generosity shown on the day, both in gifts and support, will help Cornerstone continue its mission as a welcoming space for worship and community in the centre of town. The generosity shown will make a real difference as we continue our mission of being a welcoming space for worship, fellowship, and community events in the centre of Torpoint.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and contributed in any way to the success of the day. It was truly a joyful occasion, combining thanksgiving for the past with hope for the future of Cornerstone Church.

An enthusiastic Ecumenical group of storytellers from the town Churches in Callington together with others from the wider Callington Anglican Cluster and the Calllington and Gunnislake Section of the South East Cornwall Methodist Circuit joined forces to present an exciting interactive 'Experience Harvest’ at St Mary's Parish Church this week for the children of Years 3 and 4 from Callington Primary School. The children participated really well and were a credit to the school.

The Experience Journeys offer children an exciting way to explore Christian Festivals by travelling around Stations set up in a church building or sometimes in an outdoor space and engaging with multi-sensory activities. Experience Harvest is an interactive way of exploring the rich harvest of the land and the spiritual harvest of life with Stations displaying the following topics - Thanksgiving, Earth, Garden, Grain, Ocean and Flock giving the opportunity to learn, reflect and ask questions.

This Ecumenical event was headed up by Claire Hodgkins - Family Worker in the Callington Cluster, Louise James - Family Worker at Callington Methodist Church and Sue Green - St Paul’s Church, Upton Cross. Thanks to everyone who helped make this such a success - we look forward to similar events in the future.
