To start our 2024 Advent Calender we will look at the theme of the season: Hope. 

Today is the first Sunday of Advent.  It is a time to remember the hope of the coming Messiah that was foretold through the prophets in the Old Testament.  Jesus fulfilled that hope for the rescue of humanity when He came to earth in the form of a baby at the first Christmas.  However, the ultimate hope was provided when Jesus died and rose again much later in His life.

These verses are from the Biblical book called Isaiah and are from Chapter 6.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed."

And Isaiah Chapter 7:

"All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’)."

We will look at the other themes of Peace, Joy and Love on the next three Sundays.

Planning your Visit

Hello!

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet in the Culdrose Community Centre (details here) for our Sunday Service which starts at 10:30am. For your first visit, please note the venue has its own car park. When you arrive, you should be greeted in the hall way by someone from our Welcome Team.  

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access. There are accesible toilets in the main foyer.

Our Service

Refreshments are served from 10.15am.  The service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome from the person leading.  For around 20 minutes there is sung worship, led prayer and Bible readings.  News and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church, are shared. We usually have a children's song, before the younger ones go to Sunday School while in the main service we have the sermon. This is bible-based and is applied to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song.

After the main meeting finishes refreshments are served again.  If you would like someone to pray with you, please ask one of our leaders.

We have the following lined up for children:
  • Sunday School: Is for children from 3 years old to those in year 6 (There is a baby corner provided for children under 3 years old.)
    Young people: (Year 7 upwards) At the present time, they stay in the service.  There are packs available with activity sheets and puzzles, which they are welcome to use.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up until Sunday School, as we really value worshipping God all together as a family.    You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

The Sunday School varies from week-to-week but usually includes bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected


Home Groups and Bible Study/Prayer Meeting

Biblesfreely-10133

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Getting involved on a Tuesday night allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have several Home Groups that meet on a Tuesday night every fortnight.  On the alternate Tuesdays we all meet together for our Bible Study/Prayer Meeting.  Check out Home Groups and Bible Study and we can put you in touch with a Home Group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

We have connections with the following local Ministries
  • Foodbank and Mustard Seed
  • Christians against Poverty
