We are in the Advent season, the preparation for what Christians celebrate as the anchoring of our calendars, our years and our lives, the arrival of Christ as King. It’s a period of hope and expectation, of finding yourself in a story of Life. So what does Christmas mean? For me it is a place of light, of searching, of wonder. Hear thoughts from our Mission Lead Sarah Yardley.

In these uncertain days – whether weeks or months – we can all pray. Perhaps now more than ever, it is time for Christians to speak hope and healing over our families and friends, over our colleagues and workplaces, over children and the elderly, over our country and our world, over all people and in all places during this challenging time.

Josiah Gillespie is the worship pastor at Grace Community Church and is part of the team at South West School of Worship. This week, we invite him to unpack the theology of worship for us as we plan, pray and prepare for a week of worshipping God together across Cornwall and Devon. We’d love you to join us in the real, rich worship that crosses community and ushers in the kingdom of God.

A month on from our 2019 Creation Fest experience, I look back with many precious memories of the week we set aside to be together – an important part of our church year. Over 60 of us camped on site and others journeyed up from our home towns of Hayle and Penzance to enjoy a feast of spiritual food, amazing fellowship and God-encountering worship.

Meet Compassion. One of Creation Fest’s Key Partners, we’re super excited to welcome them back to the 2019 festival with the Compassion Experience truck, an opportunity for you to get up close and personal with the work that Compassion does and learn what difference their child sponsorship programmes make to the children who take part.

We’ve been delighted to work with the new Bishop of Truro and the Church of England…we wanted to give you an introduction to this new leader. Last month, Bishop Philip joined our quarterly church leaders prayer meeting and shared a bit of his story; he’s very kindly written it here. Our next church leaders prayer gathering is 23 May at 10:00 AM at NCC, Newquay.
