 CORNERSTONE CHURCH

 

Methodist  / United Reformed

 

FORE STREET, TORPOINT, CORNWALL

 

 

 

Join us for Worship.

 

Sunday morning services are at 10.00am, where we have a Junior Church. We welcome children to our Church

and hope they will feel part of the Church family. The first Sunday in the month is also Communion, where all who love the Lord are welcome to partake. Once a month we have an Evening Service at 6.30pm.

Tuesday Weekday Morning Service. As part of our Outreach Programme we are starting at 10.15a.m. with a Prayer Meeting then coffee, holding a Informal Worship at 11a.m. for approximately half an hour, on a Tuesday at the quietest end of the Church. Some people find Sunday worship difficult to attend because of the changing nature of Sunday in Society.

Drop in Wednesday mornings 10.00am - 11.30a.m. come and meet us, have a coffee, chat or just read the paper. There is space for private prayer or talking over the Christian Faith.

 

Saturday mornings are regular coffee mornings

9.30a.m. - 11.30a.m. Some provided by the Church members, but also many Saturdays are booked by local charities to raise funds for their cause.

As we are a United Church the Constitution states that we will alternate Ministers between the denominations.

 

Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals.

Baptisms: In our denomination we are willing to baptise small infants. This is the beginning of the process of joining the Church, to be completed later when the child is old enough to make up his or her mind. We expect parents or carers of such children to maintain a meaningful connection with the Church. If you don't feel able to do this, then please resist the pressure from your family to have your child christened and opt for the thanksgiving service below. Because Baptism is about bringing the child into Church, it usually takes place in the church's main meeting for worship, the Sunday morning service.

As an alternative, a Thanksgiving Service lets you thank God for the birth of your child, and formally mark its coming into the world. This is more appropriate if you cannot make the big commitment to bringing the child up in the Church, which baptism requires, or if you prefer your child to be baptised when he/she is old enough to make up his/her mind.

Weddings: The Church is available for weddings. There is no blanket ban on re-marrying divorced people. Please discuss with the Minister as it may depend on past circumstances. You would need to give several months notice so that we can make arrangements. There is a charge for the Minister, Church, Organists fees plus flowers if required.

We are also happy to give a Church blessing to civil marriages. Charges as for weddings.

Funerals:-  you may contact us through the local undertaker but please do not hesitate to get in touch directly.
