Silent Vigil: We have all been deeply affected by the ongoing war in Israel/Palestine, especially the huge amount of suffering in Gaza. With that in mind, there will be a Silent Vigil for the Holy Land from 10.00am to 12.00 noon on The Moor in Falmouth on Tuesday 7 October, which is second anniversary of the beginning of the war. There will be no flags, no banners, just prayerful people gathering to pray for peace in the Holy Land. Anyone is welcome to join in for as long or as short as they are able. We plan to have some brief A5 leaflets available to hand out to people if they ask us what we are there for. The vigil would be to uphold all people involved and affected by the conflict. If you are unable to join us on the 7 October, why not spend some time in prayer for the situation? Peace and blessings. Euan McPhee, on behalf of Falmouth & Penryn Churches Together

Congratulations and Blessings from all at FMC: to Tristan Smith (Sarah & Ian’s son) and his bride- to -be Chloe Anne-Ford on their upcoming wedding this month. We wish them well for the future.

FMC Sound System: During some services you may have noticed some feedback on our sound system which can be uncomfortable to the ears as it tends to be high pitched! This disruption is generally caused by hearing aids interacting with the speakers. We would therefore like to request that those of our church family that wear hearing aids do not adjust them during more sensitive parts of our services particularly during the prayers and sermon. Thank you from the Sound Team.

Bible Month Bible Study:   I plan to lead a group for four weeks in October, using the Bible Month resources on the Gospel of John. The dates I am looking at are Friday 10th October (to avoid Penmorvah MWIB) then Thursdays 16th, 23rd and 30th October at 2.30pm. If you would like to attend but would need transport, then please speak to a Church Steward. More details nearer the time, Jonathan.

Visit to the Food Bank: at Highway Church Penryn with Churches Together Justice and Peace Group on Tuesday 14th October at 2pm. All are welcome to join us. Please see me if you need transport.  Thanks Nona Wright

 

New Monthly Bible Study for the Advent:  Many expressed the desire to have more Bible study/House Groups. Sarah, Louise, and Jo would be willing to host and run this at their homes. We would aim for a small group to begin with and then split into more groups as the need arises. We will search for appropriate resource materials and there would be a small charge for the books that we would follow in the group/s.  If you are interested in this then please give your name to Sarah Smith.

 

Friday Morning Friends at Fairwinds:  31st October from 10am. All are welcome. Hot drinks and homemade cakes.

 

Cake Stall: On the third Sunday of each month there will be a cake stall to raise funds for the church. Homemade cakes only £1.50 a slice.

PRAYER LIFEBOAT: If you would like a prayer for a friend or relation who is very poorly at home, or in hospital, please ring me on 01326 319024, if there is no reply, please leave a message. I will then pass this request on to all the others on the Lifeboat list. Thank you. Moira McCullough

How to hear a bird on migration: The Redwing

These long-distance travellers migrate under the cover of darkness, their silvery ‘tseep’ calls giving their presence away. Venture outside on a crisp autumn night in October and you might hear flocks of Redwings arriving on our shores after spending summer in Scandinavia. 
 
In the daylight, it’s easy to see that these birds got the memo for autumn styling. They’re decked out with a rich chestnut back, a speckled chest and creamy eyestripe. But their most recognisable feature is their fire-red flanks, not out of place amongst autumn leaves. They’re the smallest UK thrush, too. 

Redwings are known for being nomadic; they’re not loyal to any of their wintering sites. The birds you see this winter might be in the UK for their first and last time.  

 

The next edition of the notices will be available from Sunday 2nd November 2025. Please send any items for inclusion to Sarah    before  Wednesday 29th  October 2025. These notices will be updated once a month, so please hold onto them, do not delete them, until you get a revised version. That will save us time and money in unnecessary reprinting and will do another small bit for the environment, they are also published on our church website. If you have any additional notices for the month of then please email me and the Duty Steward will announce them on the relevant Sunday. Thank you.
