It's an ordinary everyday kind of statement that announces that the speaker is present. It's also a statement about being back in the place where we are known and loved and restored in our relationship with those with whom we share the home. It can also be the prelude to a conversation about how the day has been. It is such a common comfort that it's easy to overlook its significance. Imagine then living in a way where there is no meaningful possibility of saying “I'm home,” because there is no home to go to. That's the situation for a minority of people in Britain, and it is much more common in some other places and is strikingly so in relation to people from countries in conflict like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea. Across these lands, millions of people have been driven from the places they called home, and now seek places to begin again the process of creating the stability that has a home at its heart. Millions have settled in refugee camps in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon and in these temporary places try to create for themselves and their families something that could be called home. Others have striven to find a more settled place and put themselves in the hands of people-smugglers who promise to transport them by land or sea to Greece or Italy, where there is the prospect of a new beginning. It's surely not difficult to understand the desire to have a place away from conflict and violence where it might be possible to walk through a door and say ‘I'm home,’ so what is it that causes such anxiety about the refugees? I sense that refugees challenge us to reflect on our settled status and ask us whether we are willing to take the risk that offering them refuge might change things for them and for us. There are all sorts of proper arguments about homes and jobs and public services, which we've answered many times before in our country's history, as groups of people have sought refuge from religious, political and ethnic conflict. The real challenge is whether we are willing to make other, unknown people welcome. Can we see, in the simple desire for a place in which we can say ‘I'm home,’ the seed of a common interest with the person we don't yet know but who shares our common humanity? 4 MYLOR PARISH - REGULAR SERVICES AT St MYLOR CHURCH and ALL SAINTS, MYLOR BRIDGE Website: www.stmylor.org.uk Facebook: St Mylor Church Sundays 8am Holy Communion (1662 BCP) St Mylor 10.30am Parish Eucharist St Mylor Except last Sunday in month when All Age Worship (not August, December) 5pm Evening Prayer/Bible Study All Saints Wednesdays 10am Holy Communion All Saints For feast day services and other occasions, see Church notice boards/website Enquiries about baptisms, weddings or funerals should be made to Revd Jeff James on 01326 374408 or [email protected] The Churchwarden, Hazel Carruthers, can be contacted on 01326 374262 or at [email protected] Friends of St. Mylor Church Reg.

Quite apart from this great magazine, for some time now we have been on Facebook: to access us is easy, at Facebook/ St Mylor. There is always plenty of news, including a brief resume of the following Sunday’s readings and a hint of what’s to come in the sermon, lots of photos, and a new feature just starting, an in-depth article on one of the members of the church – the first is about Jeff himself. Photos on Facebook include some taken at our Patronal Festival on the last Sunday of August, when we celebrated St Mylor with a special hymn at our Eucharist, and cake and fizzy wine afterwards. It was a happy day. We shall very shortly have a new, much-updated Website, which again will give details of all the happenings at the church. To access this, go to www.stmylor.org.uk. It has taken a while to get this off the ground, but we realised just how vital it is to be accessible – a website is often the first place where people look for a church, for whatever function, wedding, funeral, baptism, or, specifically for us, a place to worship while on holiday in the area. Sunday 1 November is All Saints Day, and our 10.30 Eucharist service will be held in All Saints, Bells Hill. Later that day, at 6 pm, we shall remember the dear departed at our All Souls service, again at All Saints. If you have someone whom you wish to be remembered who is not already on our list, please contact our Parish Priest, Jeff James. Judy Menage Chapel News: We recently hosted the Welcome Service for our new Superintendent Minister to the Falmouth and Gwennap Circuit and Mylor Chapel, Revd Robbie Bowen. Robbie, his wife Ruth, children Hannah and Daniel and Ruth's parents have come from Crewe to live in Mabe. The President of Conference and Chair of Cornwall Methodist Church, Revd Steve Wild, led the service. Paul Langford, Lay Preacher, was presented with a certificate for long service, and Jenny Lockwood was welcomed as Pastor. Revd Jeff James read a lesson, along with Jenny Lockwood and Biddy Bishop. Many rousing hymns were sung and the rafters shook that night. After Revd Bowen had been presented to the congregation and promises made, he received a true Cornish welcome from religious colleagues, friends and members of the seventeen chapels in the circuit. A collection was taken for the District Training Fund. After the service, refreshments were served by the Mylor Members in the School Room. Over 100 cups of tea were served, I was told! As we go to press, we look forward to our first service led by Robbie on 27 September and to working together at Mylor. We have now changed our Harvest Festival to Sunday 4 October at 10.30, led by Revd Brian Mavers. For more info contact me at 01326 376241.
