This Sunday we welcomed Rev Clare Francis into her new role. Clare Francis has been a part of this area and these churches for many years. But this Sunday we welcomed her in her new role as Curate after her ordination in Truro at the end of June.

In her First sermon as Curate, Clare-Francis shared something of her testimony of the journey that has led her to this new stage in her life.
