Welcome to the Church of St Gluvias, Penryn

St Gluvias is the historic Church of England parish
in the Anglican Diocese of Truro.

We are a living community, seeking to worship God and to grow in faith, serving the people of the parish and the wider world in the name of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to join us. We worship on Sundays at 10.00 a.m and 6.00 p.m and, on the fourth Sunday of the month at 4.00 p.m. also in our Tea-Time Service for all ages.

We serve refreshments in Church every Sunday after Parish Mass.

See our Church Diary page for details of Sunday worship and the Regular Worship page for weekday worship and other prayer and study resources..

Christian people have worshipped on this site since a church was dedicated on 25th July 1318 to St Gluvias the Martyr. It is our great delight to join with the whole people of God world-wide and through all ages in worshipping daily the One in whom we live and move and have our being.

Prayers for the season

Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

O God, whose beauty is beyond our imagining
and whose power we cannot comprehend
:
show us your glory as far as we can grasp it,
and shield us from knowing more than we can bear
until we may look upon you without fear;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen
