Please look around the web pages, of course, but I hope you will also get the chance to meet some of our 500 plus members and worship with us in one of our 17 Chapels too.

You can find us between the Devon Border and the edge of Bodmin Moor, so farming affects most of our livelihoods.

You will see that some of our rural congregations number less than a dozen, while Central in Launceston has over 250 members and a healthy number of children too. I feel that this kind of variety is healthy and it allows our various strengths to be used well in the Lord's name.

We value the faith and commitment of previous generations, on whose work we seek to build and we hope and pray that our own vision for the mission of Jesus will break new bounds in it's turn.

When John Wesley used to visit the cottage at Trewint, he was being bold for Jesus Christ and we want to follow his lead in our own time and place.

 St Petersburg Boys' Choir Concert Report

Tony Carter was with the St Petersburg Boys' Choir throughout their visit to the Launceston area and asked him to tell the church and circuit  how much they enjoyed the Launceston concert at Central. The Musical Director, Vadim, commended the Launceston Male Voice Choir on their very good tone and pitch. After the concert and on Sunday each boy came up to Tony individually and said how much they liked the singing. Praise indeed from a top Russian musical director, not to mention world-class choirboys aged from 9 to 25.

Vadim has put a report of each day of their trip on their website. Saturday's report is on http://boychoir.ru/news/2013/5/4/ and covers their afternoon at Marazion, supper at St Erth, and the Launceston concert. The wording is all in Russian but if you scroll down there are lots of pictures, including the Launceston concert towards the bottom.
