Start your week in a peaceful place. Join us at Gilbert’s Beach Bar for a simple time of prayer, reflection, and hope as we lift up our local community together. With the sound of the waves and the beauty of the bay around us, it’s a lovely moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

A joyful space for Toddlers and their Carers. We will meet term time only in St Elwyn's hall £1/family

It would be wonderful to hear from everyone and to share our hopes and dreams for the future so that we take steps to becoming the church where children and families not only feel welcome but feel they belong. A church that truly has an intergenerational congregation. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have 16year olds asking about serving on the PCC!

All together service followed by a shared lunch. We share out which church hosts this so do keep an eye out on the pew sheet for where we're celebrating this month.

At St Elwyn’s, a Sunday morning Choral Matins at 9:30 am adapts the traditional early-morning monastic office into a welcoming, music-filled morning service. Because St Elwyn’s has rich acoustics and a strong choral tradition within the Godrevy Benefice, it offers a warm, reflective start to the day.

What to Expect at St Elwyn's
If you are used to a full Sunday Eucharist or a traditional sermon-heavy service, Matins has a distinct, relaxed flow focused on music, scripture, and shared prayer.

Music and Chanting at the Core: The service relies heavily on the choir and organ. Instead of speaking all the prayers, key sections like the Venite (Psalm 95), the Te Deum, or the Benedictus are chanted or sung dynamically.

No Communion: Unlike the standard 9:30 am Sunday Eucharist, Matins does not include the preparation of bread and wine.

Scripture & Canticles: The service cycles through two main Bible readings (one Old Testament, one New Testament), each followed by a sung canticle (an ancient hymn set to music).

Length and Pace: It typically runs for around 45 minutes, offering a peaceful, contemplative pace that gives space to appreciate the church's acoustics and setting.
