Nine days of prayer


Thy Kingdom Come


Thy Kingdom Come is 10 days of prayer between Ascension and Pentecost.

Archbishop Justin Welby says,
 “We show our faith and trust in God in prayer. 
It is in prayer that God takes hold of our lives and works through us in ways we can barely imagine possible. 
Our praying is particularly transformative when it is done in the company of others. 
Jesus prayed at the Last Supper that we, those who follow him, might ‘be one that the world might believe.’ 
There is an invitation then, to make a lasting difference in our nation and in our world, by responding to his call to find a deep unity of purpose in prayer.”

Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement, which invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ.


As part of this week of prayer a number of prayer stations have been set up around the church: the pebble pool, handprints, prayer tree, the world, the prayer wall, clay bowl.

Samara’s Aid Appeal

Banana boxes needed! We have been supporting the Samara’s Aid Appeal to help refugees ----especially children, who are ill equipped to face the weather in Syria. We are now collecting blankets, duvets and towels (in good condition please!) and especially hospital cotton blankets, for the hot weather coming soon. Hand knitted or crocheted blankets for adults, new mothers and the elderly are also needed and so are banana boxes to pack them into. Please contact Jan Fisher on 01208-852182 both for more details and to arrange collection, though St Mabyn Church is unlocked during the day and contributions can be left there.

Hand knitted or crocheted adult/children’s clothes including hats, scarves, jumpers cardigans, shawls, socks(particularly for men/boys.) are also welcome.The next collection for Samara’s Aid Appeal is going to be sent via Brighton in June. Please contact Jan for more details or see the information at the back of the church. www.samarasaidappeal.org Jan’s contacts are, Pentol, St Tudy and Jan-fisher@UK2.net
