Feet on the Street: Street Pastors returning to Falmouth
Great news for Falmouth….’Street Pastors’ are coming back but this time as an independent charity called ‘Feet on the Street’! We would love you to join us in any way that you can, whether that be joining us for an early evening or late night shift once a month, joining our prayer whatsapp group or donating any items or funds towards this great cause. We would also love to have one person from each church as our link so that we can keep you up to date with this wonderful community initiative – if you would like to be this person please let us know.
We are back out on the streets from the 14th September and just working on our website and social media platforms but in the meantime we do have an email – feetonthestreetfalmouth@gmail.com. (Please could you put this news into your church newsletters and notices to help us spread the word!)

Falmouth Christian Healing Rooms is starting up on 8th October and is staffed by a group of Christians from across the churches. Initially it will be on the first Tuesday of each month running from 1.30 pm – 4pm. This is very much a missional initiative aimed at sharing the love of Jesus Christ to the general public through the signs, wonders and miracles that Jesus still performs through Christians. If you are interested in becoming part of the team then please email falmouthhealingrooms@gmail.com for details.

We are really excited to be running the Alpha Course starting with a meal on Wednesday 25th September in All Saints Church Falmouth at 7.15pm. We will watch a short video asking the question – “Is there more to life than this.” There is no pressure to sign up to the course – just come along and enjoy the first evening. The sessions will then run on Wednesday Evenings at 7.15 pm – starting on the 2nd October
