Baptism
Anybody who feels called to present himself/herself for baptism is encouraged to contact Pastor Deniz in order that the appropriate arrangements may be made.
Anna Chaplaincy – Anna Friends
Anna Chaplaincy provides spiritual support to the elderly, including, but not limited to, those with dementia, to elderly people of sure faith, of unsure faith and of no faith.
What is an Anna Friend? Anna Friends provide invaluable support as they work alongside Anna Chaplains, often giving a few hours a week to suit their own circumstances and play to their strengths and gifts. In this way, whether as Anna Chaplains or Anna Friends, the Anna Chaplaincy movement is empowering more people to be part of supporting older people and meeting their spiritual needs.
Level of Commitment. Perhaps you are able to commit a couple of hours a month on the afternoon of the last Wednesday or the last Friday to help with the church service in a care home; or perhaps you can commit half an hour each week to visit somebody at home. The ministry is flexible, and any commitment can be planned to fit in with your circumstances.
Requirement. Anna Friends will need to have an enhanced DBS check, which the church will facilitate, and to undergo some formalities before they are formally commissioned and released by the church.
Taster. Perhaps you’d like to pray about being involved and come along for a taster before taking matters further.
Get Involved. The church leadership, as part of its vision, wants to develop the effectiveness of the church in the community. If you believe you may be called to this ministry and would like to get involved, please speak to Philip, or contact one of the church leaders.

Prayer Diary
We have paper copies of our new “prayer diary” available for you to collect from Church. This has come from a great suggestion, and mirrors what happens within the village of Pensilva. We have divided the whole parish of St. Cleer into areas/streets/villages and have allocated each to a day of the month. We’ve also included local businesses and community hubs. The idea is that in our daily prayers we include the people who live in those areas and lift them up to God, so that over the course of a month the entire parish and everyone living in it gets prayed for. If you’d prefer to have an electronic copy, then please speak to Rebecca and we’ll get one out to you.
Clothes Swap
Thank you to everyone who raided their wardrobe for our recent clothes swap! We plan to do these once a month in conjunction with our shared lunches, so if you didn’t get a chance to dig through your cupboards last time then you’re not too late! Please feel free to tell friends and neighbours about this too; they are very welcome to come just to the lunch and swap if they’d rather not come to the service as well. All clothes that aren’t taken away are donated to the clothing bank so not only are we saving God’s beautiful planet by reusing what we have, we are also contributing to funds for our community.
