We have both a personal account of what it is to volunteer and also a new kind of corporate re- sponse. These were the hands of the Word made flesh. We give thanks for those who are ordained and welcome a new Parish Placement. The KYCKYN (Know Your Church, Know Your Neighbourhood) meetings continue and there will be a series of Prayer Walks to support the process. Our lively committees and groups grow a pace, and we will all be potentially on-camera as live-streaming begins. And we celebrate choral singing, even in its absence, and look forward to its return. The Russian theme continues with a visit to two Russian Orthodox Cathedrals in London, and at last we learn what was in Brent’s bottle. Have a very happy and sunny Summer, and see you again in September. Margaret Vane News from The Lance During the pandemic, we have endeavoured to keep producing interesting monthly copies for the congregation, albeit on-line, and to reach as many people as possible. We have continued to publish the advertisements, which fund the hard copy of the paper, but because they were on-line only, we have not charged anyone. Happily, the situation is improving. We plan for the July edition to be the last online- only version. We will be ‘on holiday’ in August [no edition] but will return in Septem- ber with a full and exciting hard copy edition [price £1.00]. The online version will be available later in each month at no cost. We hold lists of former subscribers and will contact you to see if you wish to continue with your subscription. If you did not previ- ously subscribe but would like to start, please contact the Parish Office We are also contacting all our advertisers to appraise them of the situation. We would kindly ask the congregation, whenever they use any of the folk who advertise with us, to help us by telling them where they saw the advert! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING US return to contents 3 Rev. Stephanie writes….. Dear friends, I’m doing it again… going on a long walk, well, hike. This time, it’s the ‘Macmillan Mighty Hike’ from Alnwick to Bamburgh, rather than the Camino, and thankfully, it’ll all be done and dusted within a day rather than a month! But it’s been a while since the Camino, with winter and a new puppy in between... No long training walks like I did in the weeks before I traversed the length of northern Spain. So what have I done to prepare? Well, Aggie is now able to walk for 40mins, but that’s not exactly going to help me re-build my stamina for 26 miles up the northern coast. But I noticed, about twelve weeks before the big day, Jesmond Pool had put up an advert for Personal Training with one of their trainers. It was just the impetus I needed to get on with training for the hike. I now go for a training session once a week, and for someone who deeply disliked PE at school, I’m really enjoying it! One of the things I’ve found in my training, is that I’m stronger and fitter than I think I am. Although my walking and running took a dip, and swimming had been counted out too for a time, I made it through the first session even though I was put through my paces! And in the subsequent sessions, I’ve noticed in myself how well I’m pro- gressing and more inclined to exercise in my own time, specifically to go running again. It’s also shown me in real time what I’ve known to be true in myself and heard from other places: that our bodies hold our memories, our unfinished things, things we push to one side and things we don’t always acknowledge… and in moving our bodies, getting our blood pumping through our veins and building our stamina, we can help ourselves move through some of those diffi- cult pieces and process what is brought to the surface. It got me wondering. Why? Partly, I think it’s down to making the de- cision to just get on with it. There will always be any number of ex- 4 cuses and distractions and impediments, even if we enjoy what we’re putting off. But partly, I think it’s also because we need someone to see us “from the outside”, to see what we’re capable of and encourage us to go a little further than we think we’ll manage. On the ‘Couch to 5K’ app which I’ve been using on and off for about a year, Sarah Millican tells me that getting to the end of the programme is about distance rather than speed. It’s more about maintaining consistency and sustainability in our prac- tice, building stamina: when we reach the end of a walk or run that takes us to the edge of what we can manage, not only can we celebrate our achievement, but also build on our progress. Sure, some days will be better than others and some days will be harder, but on the whole the curve will head up rather than down. It’s one of the reasons I signed up for the Hike in the first place, give me a goal, keep me accounta- ble, and to build on my sense of achievement and awareness of my capacity which came from walking the Camino. And I’m sure one of the reasons I’m taking to the training so well is due to the Camino itself. So, what needs to be “worked out” and “worked through”, and who is encouraging you in it? You may well be doing better than you think, and you may well be helping more than you know. Stephanie.

Petertide, the end of June beginning of July, is an opportunity for us not only to give thanks for those are being ordained, but also a time when we can all reflect on our own calling and ministry. God calls each and every one of us to be the person we are meant to be. For Christians, our primary calling is through the sacrament of baptism. As members of the Body of Christ we are all called to discipleship, ministry and mis- sion (discipleship in our daily everyday life, ministry in our service to our church and congregation, mission in our relating the Gospel to the wider world). Within this primary, baptismal, vocation – being the person we are called to be – we exercise different, God-given, gifts, talents, and abilities; some are called to be ad- ministrators, some doctors, some musicians, some encouragers, some teachers, and some preachers. There is here an interdependence, our gifts of discipleship - freely given and freely shared within the church and the wider world - are of equal im- portance. From this community of mutuality, God calls out some people to specific authorised ministry: as worship leaders, licensed Readers, deacons, and priests: each called, discerned, and commissioned. Such calling to authorised ministry comes in different ways: sometimes it is in a blinding flash of light or realisation, more often it is a gradual dawning, and much more often it is through the gentle nudging of family members, friends, and fellow worshippers.

  • Camel Side Cluster of Churches. Profile 2017 North Cornwall
    Camel Side Cluster of Churches. Profile 2017 North Cornwall River Camel at Shell Woods The Venerable Audrey Elkington. Archdeacon of Bodmin The Camel Side Cluster of the two benefices of ‘Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland’ and ‘St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow’. Our vision for the Diocese of Truro is to “Discover God’s Kingdom, Grow the Church. To help to achieve this vision, we have been focussing on three strategic areas since 2013; Discipleship, Ministry and Mission. More recently, our development plan “Confidence in the Gospel” has given us specific aims and priorities for the years 2016-2018, relating to Praying, Growing, Leading and Supporting. (www.trurodiocese.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Diocesan-Development-Plan-May- 2016.pdf) It will be in this context which the new appointee will serve - supported by our ‘Never Alone’ policy, the continuation of ‘Accompanied Ministry Development’, and our desire to root and ground all that we do in prayer. Bishop Tim’s move to become the Bishop at Lambeth in August 2017, results in a time of transition for the Diocese. We are committed to continuing our mission and priorities during this period, and look forward to all that a new Diocesan Bishop will bring to our working together. The deanery of Trigg Minor and Bodmin is located in the archdeaconry of Bodmin. Six clusters of parishes are situated between the north and south coasts; centred around Bodmin town, and with the smaller towns of Wadebridge, Camelford and Lostwithiel to either side. The ‘Camel Side Cluster’ is currently an informal arrangement of two small benefices on the western edge of Bodmin Moor (Blisland with Temple, St Breward and Helland; and St Tudy with St Mabyn and Michaelstow).
