Send a Cow Appeal

Send a Cow – Benefice Lent Appeal
On Saturday 19th February 30 people came to the Coffee Morning and talk in Perranuthnoe Church Room which launched the Benefice wide lent initiative to Send a Cow to a needy African Family. Martin and Jane Long (from the Send a Cow Charity) provided an informative and moving account of the work and aims of the Send a Cow scheme.
A loaf (baked that morning by Margaret) was auctioned by Gill and raised £10, this plus the donations given amounted to £155 a wonderful start for this Lent Appeal.
This money plus that donated by the Perran Stitchers of £60 from a workshop means that the fund stands at £215 Further money raising events are planned throughout the Lent period.

Good News Gang


The Good News Gang (young persons group for ages 5 to 15) met at the Church Room on Thursday to start the art-work, drama and music for the St Piran's Day show (Sunday 6th March at 3:30pm in the church).

We started by making lots of Cornish Choughs who will star in our puppet play. We then told our own good news - lots of great happenings from completed school work to plans for favourite food. Then we read through the script for the puppet play and sang our new St Piran's Day songs.

If you'd like to join in, come along to the next GNG on Thursday 3rd March at 5:15 in the Church Room.
