Church Summer Fête

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us at the St Mabyn Church Summer Fête on Saturday 16th June. Despite threatening weather, the new fete committee held their nerve and carried on!
The fete was opened by the Reverend David Seymour, followed by the joyful sounds of Les Accordionaires. The St Mabyn School children delighted the crowds with their maypole dancing, and even mums and dads had a go without getting too tangled! Children were in turn entertained by Jules, a local ventriloquist. All the usual stalls proved as popular as ever, and we were also joined by the St Mabyn Scout Group, Pengelly Ice Creams, and local artist Jill Gompertz. Master of Ceremonies Tony Dickinson did a sterling job as always, keeping the fete flowing with precision and injecting a lot of fun!
The fete would never be the same without the concluding children’s races and the Tug-o-War, won by the girls, I believe!
We realise that the fete is always such a success thanks to the tremendous help and donations of goods, freely given, by both individuals and groups from the village and elsewhere. We really hope that everyone had a great afternoon and thank you all again for attending. The date for next year is Saturday, June 15th, 2019

Steve Williams ordained

On Friday 29th June Steve Williams -- leader of the worship group at St Mabyn was ordained as a priest in a packed Truro Cathedral. Steve says : Last weekend was a wondeful time of blessing. The ordination service in a packed Truro cathedral was a very powerful and wonderful occasion and I felt so privileged to be there. I was also really thrilled to be able to share such a wonderful occasion with so many members of my family and good friends both from church and from work. I feel immensely humbled by the whole experience and wish to thank everyone for their good wishes, cards, and presents. I look forward now to starting a new phase in my ministry. God bless
