An invitation from the Rector
I shared in a previous letter my reluctance to engage with a rule of life, and how I found this way of relating to my walk with Jesus as rigid, inflexible and boring! Even so, I have discovered a different way to approach this concept to allow for a rhythm of life that permits all of life’s unexpected events- with space to be - rather than feeling like I've failed at keeping the rule. It helped when someone explained it to me as a trellis, something with which to support my endeavours of following the Way in which Jesus taught us to love God, ourselves, and all creation.
If you are willing, I would like to invite you to set aside 30 mins or so and to write or draw a timeline. Draw the line across the page about midway - it may help to turn the page landscape.
On this line you might want to make a mark depicting every ten years of age - you may not and that’s ok. Below the line I want you to write down your significant history such as: starting school, being confirmed, death of someone close to you, starting your first job etc etc
Above the line, I want you to think about your spiritual journey. The times when you have felt either close or far away from God.
As you look at your drawing, are there any surprises? Has something come to mind that you had forgotten? How does this reflect on your journeying with Christ? Make a few notes in your Spiritual journal.
Keep this paper safe. Perhaps fold it and keep it in your spiritual journal. We will do some more work on this later.
Gras ha kres,
Caroline

Collect for Sunday
Almighty God,
you show to those who are in error the light of your truth,
that they may return to the way of righteousness:
grant to all those who are admitted
into the fellowship of Christ's religion,
that they may reject those things
that are contrary to their profession,
and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same;
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

Our midweek home groups are a real blessing to be part of, a place where we share life, faith, and friendship. It’s often the first to hear when someone needs prayer or has good news to share.
We hope these groups will continue to grow and welcome new members as we journey together in faith.
For details about the different midweek home groups you can join, please contact the home group leaders.
Grampound with Creed meets on Thursday evenings (weekly) with William & Ruth Trinnick (various locations)
Probus meets on Tuesday evenings (fortnightly) with Scott and Sue Hall
Probus will be meeting Thursday evenings (fortnightly) with Liz and Chris Marshman. Please contact Liz on 07525 456434.
Tresillian - We are hoping to begin a daytime group in Tresillian, more news to follow, but if you would like to offer your home please let Rev. Caroline know.

Schools Team
A reminder that I am trying to create a schools team that will engage with all our schools a couple of times around the year providing spiritual and creative ways for children to engage with the Christian faith and tradition. All roles will be safely recruited into in accordance with our safeguarding policy. Please contact Revd Caroline for more information.
Pastoral Administrator
I would like to ask if there is someone who would be willing to provide a little admin support in the pastoral work of our churches. This will require sending cards periodically around the year. For a role description and more information please contact Revd Caroline.

Generosity and Stewardship Matters
Financially Supporting your church
The Parish Giving Scheme is our preferred method of receiving regular giving within the churches of Probus, Ladock and Grampound. If you haven't already transferred from other forms of giving then do check out how it works through the link here or by contacting your treasurer.
Please do consider whether this is a good time to review your regular giving at the church, or perhaps you would like to plan for a future donation and leave a gift in your will. The Church of England has produced guidance on legacy giving which you can find here

Your Benefice Bulletin needs you!
Our weekly Benefice Bulletin is a vital way we share news, services, and events across our churches and we’re looking for someone who would be willing to take on publishing it each week.
The role involves preparing and sending the bulletin email using Mailchimp, so confidence with computers and basic software is essential. That said, full start-up support and guidance will be provided, so you won’t be thrown in at the deep end!
If you enjoy working with emails, like things to be clear and well-presented, and would like to offer a valuable service to the benefice, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’re interested, or would like to know more before deciding, please get in touch via bulletin@probus.church. Matthew Hodge
