A less formal service of Holy Communion for Christmas day, with Reverend Steve Payne. All welcome.

Every fourth Sunday we do something slightly less formal.
Not too different but a chance to explore other ways of worshipping. Be prepared to be surprised, inspired and challenged whatever your age or faith background.

Sometimes it’s Forest Café Church – outside for some of the time, weather permitting.

Sometimes we follow a more traditional pattern but the service will always be less formal.

Cafe Style seating. Coffee, tea, juice, cake, or biscuits are available throughout both services.

Something for all ages at every Service.
Everyone is welcome – Come and See!
Our congregation loves to welcome children to any of our services but if you worry about bringing them to 'ordinary' services do come and join us on the fourth Sunday of every month when we try to make things less formal. See our main website for other ways for families with children to worship together http://callington.churchinsight.com/

Some of our congregation continue to wear masks so please feel free to do so if you wish. If you would like more information about Covid precautions, please contact Miranda, [email protected] or 07595878867

Toddlers and their parents/carers welcome. Toys, activities, singing, storytime. You don’t have to be connected to any church.

Our monthly service of Holy Communion. Everyone welcome.

Covid and other infection safety precautions are taken by enabling people to choose whether to share the common communion cup or instead receive a wafer dipped in the wine by the priest. Some of our congregation continue to wear masks so please feel free to do so if you wish. There are chairs at the back for those who prefer to maintain social distancing during the service. Please let the welcomer know when you arrive if you would prefer this.

A fairly standard morning worship service, based on Morning Prayer from New Patterns for Worship but with a Celtic flavour. We use a printed service booklet which is easy to follow. Refreshments are served after the service.

We welcome back the amazing Barrett's Privateers
Join us for another great evening with Barrett's Privateers on February 4th 7.00 for 7.30pm. Bar and pasties available.

Since forming in 2019, the group have taken the crowds by storm at many large venues and festivals including the prestigious Falmouth Sea Shanty and Carnglaze caverns. If you don't know Barrett's already - come and hear them. You won't be disappointed.

An evening of Folk music and poetry readings with folk musicians Harbottle & Jonas and poet Jane Newberry.

"Partners in life and in music, dynamic Devon-based folk duo Harbottle & Jonas are one of the most exciting acts on the UK circuit today, combining a love of the richness of traditional folk with their own original and powerful songwriting. Dave and Freya have developed a distinct and compelling signature sound, blending concertina, harmonium, banjo, stomp box, acoustic guitar and cittern with their beautiful and closely intertwined vocal harmonies."
