Activities and Outreach
Thursday Club:
Meets most Thursday afternoons. It's mainly for the elderly. Often the club has visiting speakers, and occasionally an outing.
Tea-time Service:
On the third Sunday of every month at 4.00p.m. It lasts for half an hour, very informal and is enjoyed by people of all ages--- from 1 month to 100+years. It is followed by a shared tea.
Sunday School:
At 9.55am on the second and fourth Sundays. This is lead by a team of talented and enthusiastic teachers.
Highertown Friends Group:
We are a group of people who meet on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 2pm in the church lounge. We then go out to a local tea shop for a chat over a cup of tea and cake. The group pays for your tea and cake the first time you join us! Transport is free. We aim to return to highertown by 4.15pm. If you are lonely, or just want an afternoon out, please come and join us, whether you have a church connection or not. This group has incorporated the Highertown Carers Group.
Alpha courses:
We run these courses for adults, both from within the congregation and for people new to our church. We have started an Alpha course during the Autumn. For more information please contact the vicar.
Parenting Course:
These are popular courses run by Polly Smyth and Yvette Smith
"Stay and Play":
This is a mother and toddler group that meets from 9.30 every Wednesday morning in the church hall during school term times. If you have a toddler do come along for a chat and a cuppa!
Pastoral Visitors:
We have a team to visit the sick and housebound.
Homeless Meal:
We join in a rota of people from other churches in Truro to provide a cooked meal every Friday evening for the Homeless in Truro.
Truro Food Bank:
Our church supports this worthy venture by donating items of food, money and some of our members will work as volunteers in the distribution point. The Food Bank has a store of food which can be given to people who are experiencing particularly difficult times. This is based on the model pioneered by the Trussell Trust. For further information about the Truro Food Bank click here. In July 2011, we fed our 1000th client and we have just opened a third distribution centre in Perranporth.
