Our Last Sunday in Cornwall

We attended worship service this morning at the St. Mawgan Methodist Chapel in the village of St. Mawgan. It was a joint Benefice service of folks in the Church of England and Methodist congregations in the villages of St. Mawgan, St. Eval and St. Ervan. It was wonderful to see folks one more time before we launch back to the States this Thursday. Afterwards the Priest-in-Charge, Graham Shields, on behalf of the Benefice, presented Charles and Belinda with a lovely framed sketch of the military chapel that used to be open at St. Eval: What an awesome remembrance for our time there!

We enjoyed a scrumptious lunch at the Smugglers Den Pub (www.thesmugglersden.co.uk) , and then we returned to our hotel to relax by reading the papers and catching a quick nap.

Tonight we attended worship at Trelights Methodist Chapel, a place where Charles preached around once a month. It was so good to be with them one more time, enjoying the service, the music, the fellowship. Afterwards, like times before, we all headed down to Peter's (the chapel organist) home for a lovely supper of delicious homemade snacks, Cornish cheddar cheese, a variety of cakes and biscuits and load and loads of piping hot tea which is served from the Aga stove that warms the whole kitchen up to a lovely cozy temperature. All in all, a wonderful way to spend our last Sunday in Cornwall! Praise be to God!!!
