St Laudus, Mabe

Welcome to our website and, we hope, to our church. It is set in a beautiful location a mile out of the village overlooking Argal Reservoir. You are very welcome at any of our services or just to pay a visit to the church and churchyard. Because of its isolated location the church building cannot be kept open daily but is often open between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursdays.

We form one parish with St Michael's church in Ponsanooth and we alternate our Sunday services between the two churches. The dates and times of services, and where they take place, are set out on a notice board in the church car park and also on this website (Services and Events).

You will be made very welcome at any of our services. Our style of worship is relaxed. Our congregation tend to be unpretentious in their manner and dress and are very willing to accept you as you are.

We host various fundraising events, mostly musical but also some illustrated talks. Rather than charge admission we invite donations and the proceeds are often divided between church funds and a nominated charity.

What's on

Fairwinds pattern of prayer and Holy Communion Ben Hudd

Occuring
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at for 1 hour
Venue
Address

I was challenged a few years ago (bearing in mind that I'm from an open evangelical background) by the centrality of the Eucharist in mission. In response, I've begun to develop a rhythm of Holy Communion at Fairwinds, as well as prayer. Each 1st & 3rd Tuesday and 2nd and 4th Thursday of normal term time at 9.15 am there is the opportunity to come together to celebrate Holy Communion at Fairwinds, with mission and justice as a theme (we'll never run out of Bible passages for that!); the methodist church is also hoping to join with this as well as other churches of differing denominations if that so wish. I have written a liturgy (enclosed) that both uses Common Worship, and where there is flexibility permitted, the themes of mission and justice are drawn upon.

Whilst I appreciate of course that churches will wish to keep their own midweek worship, I'm hoping that as many as possible will feel able to participate together in unity around a shared table in surroundings that are different for some perhaps.

Each Wednesday there will also be prayer at Fairwinds from 9 am - 10 am that all are welcome to join in with. This will have a missional focus and be instantaneous in nature (ie there will be no framework of liturgy used) and will draw upon what has been happening during the previous week.

Tuesday 1st and 3rd of month 9.15am, Wednesday weekly at 9.00am, Thursday 2nd and 4th month 9.10am Term time only

Learning Community Days.

There will also be three Learning Community days throughout the year for people to engage with, giving us some moments in time to pause, reflect, plan and dream a little.
