St Peter's, Flushing

Welcome to the homepage of St Peter's, the Parish Church for the beautiful, friendly village of Flushing which stands on the edge of the Carrick Roads opposite Falmouth. Once home to the Captains of the Falmouth Packet Mail Ships, the village has a long association with the sea and is a popular sailing venue. 

Our Church is made up of people from Flushing and beyond who have a background of Anglican, Methodist and Roman Catholic Churches. We work together to be a Christian presence in our village by serving God in the Church and Community. We support one another and those in need through pastoral care and charitable giving.

Throughout the year we raise funds for local projects such as the Penryn Foodbank and St Petrocs Society for Cornwall’s homeless, as well as looking beyond to the wider world with Christian Aid and our on-going sponsorship of a child in SOS Villages, Croatia.

Our Church is open most days for anyone to come in and spend time, as well as enjoy our lovely garden. There is a box in the porch for you to add prayer requests, which we are pleased to include on the following Sunday service.

On the 1st and 3rd Sundays we hold a service which we call Morning Prayer with hymns, readings, prayers and a short talk. These are led by either our Priest-in-Charge, Canon Andrew Stevenson, Morwenna Bennett or Colin Brown. We have a service of Holy Communion on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays in the month led by either Canon Andrew Stevenson or Revd Angela Brown.

"The parish of Flushing is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs, Mary Stevenson who can be contacted on 01872 241880.

What's on

Fairwinds pattern of prayer and Holy Communion Ben Hudd

Occuring
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at for 1 hour
Venue
Address

I was challenged a few years ago (bearing in mind that I'm from an open evangelical background) by the centrality of the Eucharist in mission. In response, I've begun to develop a rhythm of Holy Communion at Fairwinds, as well as prayer. Each 1st & 3rd Tuesday and 2nd and 4th Thursday of normal term time at 9.15 am there is the opportunity to come together to celebrate Holy Communion at Fairwinds, with mission and justice as a theme (we'll never run out of Bible passages for that!); the methodist church is also hoping to join with this as well as other churches of differing denominations if that so wish. I have written a liturgy (enclosed) that both uses Common Worship, and where there is flexibility permitted, the themes of mission and justice are drawn upon.

Whilst I appreciate of course that churches will wish to keep their own midweek worship, I'm hoping that as many as possible will feel able to participate together in unity around a shared table in surroundings that are different for some perhaps.

Each Wednesday there will also be prayer at Fairwinds from 9 am - 10 am that all are welcome to join in with. This will have a missional focus and be instantaneous in nature (ie there will be no framework of liturgy used) and will draw upon what has been happening during the previous week.

Tuesday 1st and 3rd of month 9.15am, Wednesday weekly at 9.00am, Thursday 2nd and 4th month 9.10am Term time only

Learning Community Days.

There will also be three Learning Community days throughout the year for people to engage with, giving us some moments in time to pause, reflect, plan and dream a little.
