Regeneration Group: We have made some progress in that we now have a quantity surveyor to help us negotiate with developers and advise us on the costs we might incur with a new build. We are still in negotiations with the developer on the outskirts of Falmouth, but the wheels turn slowly, we are looking all the time for any sites that may present themselves as more suitable. We meet regularly and if you feel you would like to be involved speak to a steward for information of our next meeting.

Churches Together Walk of Witness:  This will, once again, take place on Good Friday. For more information, please speak to Euan.

Lent Course for 2023: This year’s Lent groups will once again be film-based discussions. We will be watching and reflecting on West Side Story (Spielberg’s 2021 version) with its themes of migration, segregation, love found and lost, betrayal, repentance, and tragedy redeemed. There will be two groups one on a Wednesday evening at 7pm and one on a Thursday afternoon at 2pm both will be held in the Choir Vestry at KCM. The course book ‘A Place for Us’ costs £6.50 for a paperback and £2.99 for a Kindle edition. If you would like to attend a group it’s not too late to join, please speak to a church steward.

Building Hope- Voices from Palestine women's tour comes to Cornwall: For those who don't know me I joined Amos Trust in summer 2021 and I work in the Community Engagement team. I am getting in touch because you live in Cornwall. I am based in Cornwall myself and thought you may be interested in a few events which are happening in Cornwall this March in conjunction with a Palestinian women's tour. CADFA (The Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association) are hosting 15 women from the Occupied Territories as part of an International Women's Day tour. Three of these women are coming to Cornwall from 15th-17th of March and myself and some volunteers in Cornwall have organised a few events and speaking engagements. This is to give people in Cornwall a chance to meet these women and hear about their experiences as women and living under occupation. Below is a summary of the three events. All are free, though if you would like food/ drink you can pay for that on the day. Bodmin:16th March,1.30-1.30pmThe Old Library, Bodmin hosted by Cornwall Women's Centre; Truro,16th March, 6.45 (meal), 7.30-9pm (talk) Truro Baptist Church hosted by Truro Inspiring Women's Network; Falmouth 17th March, 12.30-2.30pm Cornish Bank, hosted by Amos Trust. Join for mint tea and Palestinian treats and a chat, bring your lunch. Megan Williams, Amos Trust.

Pop-Up Choir: The Pop-Up Choir will help to lead singing at FMC during services. They will ‘pop-up’ unannounced and if you would like to join in then please speak to one of this group after the service or just pop up!

Christian Aid Booksale advance notice: Once again there will be a book sale held at KCM during Christian Aid Week (14th – 20th May). There will be boxes in New Street for your donations. If you would like any more information, then please speak to Euan.

Foodbank: Our Foodbank collection bin is now in the entrance at New Street. The need for the Foodbank grows continually and we would encourage you to donate what you can. Thank you.

Pastoral Team Church Lunch: The Pastoral team are planning a church lunch out hopefully after a service. We intend to hold this at the old water sports centre now the Windjammer Café. The café, we thought, is close enough to walk from church or has a carpark next door. We propose either April 2nd or May 14th please let Jeanette or Tracy know if you would be interested in this venture.

In our prayers, we continue to hold the following before God: from Falmouth: Bruce & Shirley Keer, June Martin, the Mumford Family, Ria Smith and her family, John Bennett, Gwen Dunstan, Gill Wilkinson, Bab Minns, and the residents and staff of care homes, especially Langholme. And for all those who have been affected by the recent chest infections doing the rounds, and for all those suffering with the effects of Covid (short-term and long-Covid).

Thinking of you and missing you at church: Emma, Bradley and CJ, Glenys and Karina, Janet Dale.

Pastoral Contact for March:  June Martin
