june - julY 2014 From the Vicarage Thomas had doubts about the resurrection when he heard the stories of the disciples. He said to them, "Unless I see his hands myself ... I will not believe." Thomas was full of doubts until he was confronted with the risen Christ. Thomas looked at his hands and instead of touching the wounds, Thomas fell to the ground and said, "My Lord and my God." Sometimes, you have to discard your doubts and act on faith. You may have some lingering doubts. You may have some unanswered questions. You may have some things which will remain a mystery. But, like Thomas, we sometimes reach that point where we need to translate our doubts into acts of faith. Faith is coming to that point where we are standing on the edge of doubt and we can see no clear path ahead, but we go on in faith. We go on in spite of doubts. We go on in the faith that God is with us. When the history of this century is written, there will be the names of many prominent men and women. However, there is one name that I believe will be forever remembered ~ and that is Winston Churchill.

Polruan Angling Club - what goes on there ? and other groups that don't advertise their dates and venues - Bridge Club for example and is there a Chess Club ?

Let it roar. Let it rage. We shall come through." I think the Lord must have loved Winston Churchill. He translated his doubts into actions of faith. He helped his people see beyond the doubts in their minds and In this issue begin acting on the faith and hope of overcoming the storm. Doubts are a reality in our lives. We all Bishops to come to Polruan 4 have occasional doubts. We all have Holiday Club 6 questions which need answers. We would all like to have absolute proof.
