Each Friday morning
there is a prayer meeting in the parlour at 10.00am with a short
Communion
Service at this time, on the the first Friday of each
month.
Why not come along one Friday and
join us? The format is very relaxed, consisting usually of
a Bible reading, leading to a brief discussion, followed by a
time of open prayer. You are as welcome to come and say
nothing as to come and participate actively - so why not give it
a try? Then stay for coffee, biscuits and a chat.

| Coffee is served after the morning service on the LAST Sunday of each month. It is hoped as many as are able will stay for a short while and continue the fellowship of the earlier part of the morning. | |||
| There are coffee mornings held at St Dominic (second Monday of each month), Stoke Climsland (first Wednesday of each month, but check venue locally) and Tamar Valley, (check dates locally). | |||
The Circuit meetings and Church
Councils have agreed that the churches in our circuit should become
Fair Trade churches. This means that we use fairly traded tea,
coffee etc at all our meetings, lunches, coffee mornings and other
events. Callington is
trying to gain Fair Trade status, whereby a number of local shops,
businesses, community groups and churches use Fair Trade products,
which can be purchased at the Cornerstone shop in Fore Street and
the Co-op in New Road.

'Toddle In' is about providing a venue where parents/carers, and the under 5s can meet. We provide a fruit snack mid morning for children and a tea/coffee for mums/carers. If during school holidays you have another child you would like to bring along, please mention it to any of the helpers but we would advise that they bring along something to occupy themselves with. All staff and helpers have been CRB checked. Our aim is to provide a relaxed, caring atmosphere where parents/carers and little children can feel welcome. | ||
