Introducing……..Rev’d Julia Myles. We are delighted that Julia has been called to serve as our assistant minister within the Anglican Benefice of Penryn and to live in the parish alongside us all.

Julia writes:

I am a Coventry girl who went to the ‘all boys’ grammar school that my step-brothers attended! I was in the first group of 30 girls in the school & I’m surprised they didn’t ditch the idea after me! I went to Birmingham Uni to study education & English, then went on to work in schools & community and after a Masters, I lectured in dance at Birmingham. Paul and I married and had our three daughters before moving to the North East for Paul’s BBC job. Despite my trying to put the C of E off with my honesty, I was ordained thirteen years ago in Newcastle. I’ve been at churches in Alnwick then Hampshire,a Hospice on IOW and latterly at a church near Reading in Berkshire.
Paul & I have never lived in Cornwall but we’ve visited my Mum and sister here over many years and now welcome our twin 12 year old grandsons and 6 year old granddaughter to visit us here too. For us it feels like a ‘coming home’ and a God-led adventure!
I believe churches should be for God and others, and we need to be intentional about that. It is clear that we live in a wonderful, socially conscious community that thrives on friendly care of others and of the planet and we look forward to getting involved and to getting to know more of you over the coming weeks.

No matter if you attend church or call yourself a Christian, I’m here for anyone who might need a listening ear or a visit.

My role is part-time Sun-Weds. Do email or call, revjuliapenryn@gmail.com or 07596 090776

I look forward to meeting you !

Julia

Mothers’ Union

Mothers’ Union is an international women-led Christian movement with 4 million members. It was founded by Mary Sumner in 1876, and it is the largest volunteer network in the Anglican Church, active in 64 dioceses across Britain and Ireland. Our members are not all mothers, or even all women – they are female and male, single and married, parents and grandparents.

We are a diverse and inclusive community present in approximately 84 countries around the world, working together for a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Our grassroots membership organises and participates in programmes on locally identified needs, such as literacy, parenting, and business skills.

“Together, by the grace of God… we can calm each other when we are afraid; strengthen one another when we are weak; and work together to raise our children to the glory of God. Unity is strength.” – Mary Sumner

Mothers’ Union in Truro Diocese

In the Diocese of Truro, Mothers’ Union gives annual donations to support local charities that work with families – Cornwall S.P.A.C.E, Kernow Young Carers and the men’s and women’s refuges, safe places for people affected by gender-based violence. Some members knit Teddy Vean, to give away to children, or tiny blankets needed by premature baby units. We support the RISE UP campaign, against domestic abuse in all its forms.

Donations

Mothers’ Union (Diocese of Truro) is a registered charity number 249867. Donations from the Love in Every Stitch Banner Exhibition will go towards the work of Mothers’ Union locally and overseas.

Mawnan Mothers Union

We meet regularly on the 2nd Wednesday of each month in Mawnan Memorial Hall at 2.30pm.

For details of upcoming meetings please contact:

Trudy Smith, Branch Leader. 07740 777926.

The Justice and Peace Action Group, founded by the late Mary Bradley, generally meets on the second Tuesday of the month (except August) for discussion and prayer around issues of justice and peace and persecution. These are open meetings and everyone is welcome.

Everyone welcome at the coffee mornings at King Charles the Martyr Church (KCM) in Falmouth, which run on the fourth Tuesday of every month from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

These popular community catch-ups are hosted at Fairwinds Cafe (below the church). Proceeds from the events are donated to various local and national charities.

CAP Befrienders: The Falmouth and Penryn CAP Debt Help Centre is looking for volunteers/befrienders to manage the local debt help service more efficiently; and to ensure that CAP clients are supported and encouraged. A befriender is someone who has a passion for people who often feel socially isolated due to their financial burdens. Befrienders work closely with the debt coach by usually accompanying them on 3 home visits and focusing on the non-debt related needs of a client, such as providing assistance with practical tasks (e.g. lifts to foodbank or a GP appointment) and praying for or with them. The role is flexible with regards to which elements you would undertake and your availability. If you want to find out more about this role, contact Franziska by email Franziskaspindler-hughes@capuk.org or by phone on 07852 547907

New Interactive Map of Churches in Cornwall

Did you know there are around 540 active Christian churches from multiple traditions across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly? Explore them all on our new interactive map at www.ctcinfohub.org/churches – and do please let us know of any errors or omissions by emailing corrections to ctceditor@ctcinfohub.org – many thanks! We are hoping to add links to faith-based social action projects so it would be especially helpful if you can let us know of any you think should be included.

Feet on the Street

In Autumn 2025 we were blessed to have Aisling Manser, a student at Falmouth University, join us for a couple of late-night shifts as part of her project exploring community groups in Cornwall. She created this wonderful video about us as part of her work. https://www.facebook.com/reel/3188112604693280
