Geo-church is a form of Spiritual
Orienteering. It’s fun. It’s thought
provoking. It’s a whole new way of
looking at human activity in the
landscape and finding God in both.
Lets do Geo-church!
Paul to Newlyn

The Church is often open during daylight and
contains many interesting features. Take a
minute to pray for all who worship here and

• Why not take a look around
our Church?
• Now you’re inside, just take
a moment to relax and let
God’s love encircle you.
There’s no rush! Stand on
the compass circle and look
ahead of you to the altar
where Jesus shares supper
with his friends every
Sunday.

The Harbour looks very quaint, but people
struggle to make a living in this area and
many depend on the tourist trade.
Some still fish and farm in the area too.

and are overburdened, and I will give you
rest. Matt.11:28
