Since the launch at the end of March 2023, we have gathered at 4.'30pm at Sunday's at Bishop5 School. Attendance as varSed between 42-85 with approximately 15 under 18's. We've shared sweet treats, hot drinks ané warm welcomes. sun8 songs of praise for all age5 and been built up by teachlng series from Psalms and Phlllppians to Emotionally Healthy Spirltualitv. We've celebrated with all-age gathering5, Invited friends and neighbours to our Easter and Christmas 8atherin8s. Attendance at our Christmas gatherlngs reached 158. We have loved making space for extended, un-interrupted time5 of worship at Seek Flrst, our monthly night of worship and interce55ion. We've been blessed to gather in different churches across Newquay including St Michaels, St Colan and St Columb Minor. We be15eve God is doing something new and powerful amongst us as we worship and we look forward to pursuing his presence together In the year ahead. Under the leadership of our worship pastor, the worshlp team comprlses of 6 people. Formation Following Jesus and becoming Ilke him is central to our vision. We encourage everyone Into practices that give us a shared shape to our lives. Daily. weekly and monthly rhythms to help us as a community to grow towards Jesus by beln8 Wlth him, becomin8 like him and doin8 what he did. We've drawn inspiration from Celtic communities who used to have 2 shared 'Rule of Life., A Rule of Life was like a trellis, a structure which helped them grow in the right direction- a set of practices and rhythms to move them towards Jesus and live as free people. Rhythms is a tool we have begun to develop for 3 or 5 people to meet regularly and contend for the kinds of patterns in each other's lives that wlll help one another be with Jesus, become like him and do the things he did. They are designed to be groups that are safe enough to heal but dangerous enough to grow and are therefore vehicles for brin8in8 about genuine Page 5 St Gregory's Church transformation in each otherfs lives. The groups are made up of 3-5 people who will share stories, take up new rhythm5 and pray for each other fortnightly, or as frequently as they wish. Hubs are our meet mid-week group where we form community. They are a lot of fun and are great way to get to know people, and invite people into community. Hub5 operate on a termly rhythm because we know in Cornwall there are things we can do in summer which we can't in winter. Some- Local Hubs- meet in homes ané get to know one another a5 they seek to love a neighbourhood together. Others- Activity Hubs- build community over a shared interest. Or- Course Hubs- 80 on a learnin8 journey together. Hubs a great way for people to get to know each other, and invite others into community. FJmllv We are passlonate about kids meeting with Jesus and having lots of fun I It's been so exciting to see an increasing number of families and foces joinin8 in on all of the games, discusslons and actlvities over the last year. We've explored a range of subject Including looking at the character of Jesus and getting to know dlfferent characters from the bible. In November 2023 we had our flrst light party for children from reception to year 6 at Newquay Orchard, It was great to see the kids inviting thelr friends along. The hi8hlight of the evenlng was glow In the dark ten pin bowling.. 2024 we are goln8 to bigger and brighterl St Gregory's youth alms to be a group of people who love God, love one another and love the communitle5 we are in.. .and we love having fun as we do itl We have younger youth sessions on a Sunday for youth in years 7-9, and our older youth meets on a Tuesday evening, for years 9-13. It ha5 been brilliant to see the youth group growing, not only in number but as young leaders and developlng a real togetherness and joy wlthin the group. During the year we have attended the 'Glow' gatherings, Put on by Creation Fest and run out of Engine House Church In Redruth. These have been a great opportunity to meet wlth other youth from all over Cornwall, to build relationships and to worship Jesus all togetherl Occasionally, we gather both younger and older youth for a bi8 social I We have also been welcome into Nansledan and Bishops primary schools, leading different sports clubs In both,. building up links and has also led a number of whole School assemblies at Nansledan School and we hope to develop these partnershlps and see it as a great opportunity to Serve our local community. And the church leader has taken on the role of governor at The Bishops Academy School in Newquav. Mlsslon We ran our first Alpha course in the Autumn, It was space for people to explore the chrlstian faith and bring their questions.

When Dreams Change is a four-week course that aims to help parents and carers reflect on Page 6 St Gregory's Chureh their experience of having a child with additional needs and to become more of the person they have been created to be. Future strategy and plans: The future plans of St Gregorfs Church are shaped by the Bishop's Mission Order that was slgned in 2023, focused on the Pydar Deanery. Along with the Pydar Deanery are seeking to start a debt centre with Christians Against Poverty ICAPI.
