Welcome

 

 

 

Welcome to Holy Commotion! – Truro

“This is Church,                                        but not as we know it!”

Holy Commotion is “St. Paul’s Church in the School”. Since 2007 we have been meeting regularly at 6.30pm on Wednesdays at Archbishop Benson CEVA School, Bodmin Road, Truro, for worship because our parish church is closed.

 

Our Mission

 

 

Our mission is to make the Christian faith accessible to families with small children or babies. We are providing a safe 'access' point for those families wanting to know about the Christian faith but who don't want to go to "church"! Traditonal 'church' is sometimes not an ideal place for those stepping out for the first time, or those wanting to return to church with a young family. It can be initimidating and unfamilar but Holy Commotion and Together in Worship offer the ideal informal  environment in which to explore faith and engage in worship without fear of causing upset or distruption to a regular church service.

Programme
 
 

We meet fortnightly during term time in the School Hall at Archbishop Benson CEVA School, Bodmin Road, Truro.

 

Dates vary so click "Read more"  below to see our current programme.
