Welcome to the Church of St Gluvias, Penryn

St Gluvias is a 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.

Christian people have worshipped on this site since - and probably before - 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.

We invite you to join us. We worship on Sundays at 10.00am and (on most Sundays - check the Church Diary page) at 6.00pm and, on the fourth Sunday of the month at 4.00pm, in our Tea-Time Service for all ages.

We serve refreshments in Church every Sunday after Parish Mass.

We regret that Children's Church is not currently available.

See our Church Diary page for details of Sunday worship and the Regular Worship page for weekday worship and other prayer and study resources. Check the Parish Notices immediately below for any detailed changes.

Prayers
Almighty God,
whose Son revealed in signs and miracles
the wonder of your saving presence:
renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your mighty power;
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
                                                                      Collect for The Third Sunday of Epiphany
A prayer for the environment
As we breathe the very air which sustains us,
we remember your love, God,
which gives us life.

Fill us with your compassion for Creation.
Empty us of apathy, selfishness and fear,
of all pessimism and hesitation.

Breathe into us solidarity
with all who suffer now
and the future generations who will suffer
because of our environmental irresponsibility.

Move us into action
to save our earth
and to build your sustainable Kingdom.
Amen

Changing News from Ekklesia
(Opens in a new window)

According to the major web traffic indicators, Ekklesia has the most visited web site concerned with religion in the UK.
A topical reflection...

There's a lot of gloomy pontificating about religion in the news these days. The impression is often created - by both secular and faith-based commentators - that those with a narrow, exclusive or bigoted approach are setting the agenda. Surely it is not without significance, then, that the biggest audience for a religious website in the UK comes to Ekklesia - which takes a broad, open and transformative approach? Just a thought. The world is not always "as reported".
