This service takes place each Sunday at 10:00am and lasts for approx. 1 hour. With hymns from the New English Hymnal and Songs of Praise hymn books, we welcome any visitors to our Sunday worship.

Our worship is being overseen by the Rev'd Emma Durose, with the supported of Fr Tim Pilkington and the Rev'd Stewart Turner, as part of the "new" Benefice for Penryn.

Between 3pm & 4.30pm in Church

Christingle:
Christingle services use a special symbol, a decorated orange, (pictured), to explore the story of God’s love for the world at Christmas.

The orange represents the world
The fruits or sweets represent God’s creation and the blessings of the seasons
The candle represents Jesus, the light of the world bringing hope to those in darkness.
The red ribbon round the orange represents the love of God and the blood of Jesus.

Crib service:
During this short service, children will be encouraged to help tell the Christmas story, by bringing the nativity figures to the crib and arranging them around the manger.

There will be a collection in aid of the Children’s Society – you can read more about the work of the Children’s Society and the meaning of the Christingle.

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.

This said mid-week eucharist service is celebrated every Tuesday from 10:15am. The service lasts approx. 30 minutes and visitors would be most welcome

Every Wednesday from 7pm-8pm. New recruits welcome.

The practice session lasts for approx. 1 hour, during which we will ring rounds and call changes, and attempt method (in small measures). Visiting ringers most welcome.
