| North Cornwall Cluster of Churches The First Sunday after Trinity 14th June |
| Additional Collect God of truth, help us to keep your law of love and to walk in ways of wisdom, that we may find true life in Jesus Christ your Son, Amen Holy Habits – Prayer Persistent prayer- Are there people or situations that you have been praying for with no sign of answer for a long time? Perhaps you have become so discouraged and disappointed you have given up. Is it time to pick up prayer again for this issue? Spend some time asking the Holy Spirit to fill you with renewed faith, hope and trust. ‘We must repeat the same supplications not twice or three times only, but as often as we have need, a hundred and a thousand times….we must never become weary of asking for God’s help.’ (John Calvin)  Sunday Services The church continues to be alive and active, but our buildings must remain closed. We are recording short services in different styles and uploading these to our facebook group and YouTube (via our website www.northcornwallclusterofchurches.org.uk) www.facebook.com/groups/northcornwallcluster Sunday 14th June: ‘Good News and #BlackLivesMatter’ 11am – Morning Worship led by Rose Jones Sunday 21st June: Trinity 2 11am – Morning Worship led by Elizabeth Wild. The Julian Group and anyone who would like to join us, meets each in our own home at 7pm every Thursday. We light a candle and read a passage from the Bible followed by silence. Then we read the second passage followed by silence and ending with Compline or our own prayers. Different members choose the readings each week. This Thursday 18th June they are Isaiah 43. 1-12 and Romans 8. 28-39 ending with Compline or your own prayers.

Zoom is very easy to use and help is available to get you started. David Foster and Marcus Jones have kindly offered to do some one to one teaching sessions over the phone. Everybody is welcome to attend a zoom meeting and it is a lovely way to see each other in this time of social distancing, just let Geraldine know if you are interested and she will invite you along.
