Churches Together in Cornwall is part of a bigger Christian family made up of many different churches, from all kinds of backgrounds, communities, and traditions. Each one is shaped by its own history, customs, and ways of doing things. Churches Together in Cornwall supports and encourages churches of all kinds to come together, to build relationships, and to work in partnership.
Together, we aim to:
- Share our faith together, in words and actions, across Cornwall
- Create space for churches to talk, listen, and learn from one another
- Work alongside other Christian groups and organisations to make a bigger impact
If youโd like to find out more or get involved, please get in touch with Churches Together in Cornwall or sign up to our Weekly Newsletter.

Join us in a prayer for Holocaust Memorial Day which takes place every year on 27 January ๐
Holy God,
On this Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish persons whom the Nazis murdered. Some names known to us but all known to you. We remember, too, those who survived and bore the physical and emotional consequences. We pray for our neighbours today, our Jewish communities who still feel the effects of the Holocaust and the fear that antisemitism continues to bring.
We remember, also, the thousands of other victims of the Nazi regime. Those who were disabled, gay, Roma, Jehovahโs Witnesses, political opponents, and those who were brave enough to stand up and say that what was happening was wrong. As we think this year of the need to โbridge the generationsโ, forgive us when we have allowed ourselves to hate others. Forgive us when we have chosen not to stand up against hatred, and forgive us when we choose to forget because itโs more comfortable than remembering the horrors of what has happened.
Yesterday, today and forever you are God. Your love endures forever. We hold before you all victims of genocide and hatred and ask that you bring peace and justice. May we never forget and may we be equipped to make a better world.
Amen.

A Prayer for World Leprosy Day from The Leprosy Mission, a Christian leprosy charity ๐
Almighty Father, the giver of life and health, look mercifully on those who suffer from leprosy.
Stretch out your hand to touch and heal them as Jesus did during his earthly life.
Grant wisdom and insight to those who are seeking the prevention and cure of the disease; give skill and sympathy to those who minister to the patients; reunite the separated with their families and friends; and inspire your people with the task set before The Leprosy Mission, that it may never lack either the staff or the means to carry on its healing work, in accordance with your will, and to the glory of your holy name.
We ask this for the sake of Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord. Amen.
What actions can you take?

Spirit of God, and true God, who descended on the river Jordan, and into the upper-room; who enlightened us by the baptism of the Holy Font, we have sinned against Heaven and before you, purify us again with your divine fire, as you did the Apostles with fiery tongues. Have mercy on Your creatures and especially on us. Amen.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling (Eph 4:4).
๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ:
Jesus Christ, you have brought us together in all our diversity as your family and church. In the face so many situations on earth where hope has given way to despair and wounded hearts, renew our hope in the Holy Spiritโs work of changing the world. Move us to spread this hope to everyone everywhere. You are the true Light, who casts out the darkness of sin, and shines into our hearts the joy and hope of your eternal love. Amen.

Make every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (cf. Eph 4:3).
๐๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ:
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Prince of Peace. Strengthen the bond of peace among us and in our troubled world. Change the hearts of all who make war; touch the wounds of all who are afflicted by war. We pray especially for the people of Armenia and Artsakh, and their kindred throughout the world. Let the light of your love shine in all the dark places of our world and hasten the day when all peoples may dwell in peace with justice. Amen.
