‘Keep Me as The Apple of an Eye’
This quaint sounding phrase is found in a short evening service
calledCompline which is used as the final prayers of the day in
religiouscommunities around the world. The collection of readings
and prayerscreates an atmosphere of contemplative peace which is
just perfect beforegoing off to sleep. The word ‘Compline’ comes
from the idea of the workingday being completed – and it is
finished off with a time of reflectionincluding prayers for people
we have met in the last 24 hours, to say sorryfor words or actions
we now regret and to give thanks for any specialblessings we have
received during the day.There is also a great emphasis on the sense
of each one of us being preciousto God. Hence the expression Keep
me as an apple of an eye….which refersto something very precious
and arises originally from the fact that the pupilin the eye is one
of the most sensitive parts of the human body. So thisprayer is a
reminder that as we enter the darkness of the night ahead wehave a
caring God watching over us at all times.For over 2 years now we
have offered every morning a Thought for the Dayon the Penlee
Cluster Web-‐site which we call The Shout. If you are not afollower
then I do recommend you look at www.penleecluster.org.uk or ifyou
are a Facebooker at FB Penlee Cluster. It is always different and
youmight find a reflection on an Optical Illusion Picture shown at
a SchoolAssembly or a thought related to National Carers Week.We
are now encouraging people to reflect at the end of each day
andsuggesting that saying the service of Compline sometime during
the eveningcould be an enriching activity to be part of. A copy of
the text can be foundon the Cluster web site and.there are also
printed copies at the back of thechurches if you prefer to have a
hard copy to read from. We have‘personalised’ the service to the
Mounts Bay by suggesting a different localfocus for each day….and a
special opening ‘Stilling Prayer’
Across the Bay the sun is setting.The hush of the night
descends.
Creator God hold us in your peace.Enfold us in your love

Mousehole Male Voice Choir
June was an exceptionally busy month for the choir. Sunday the
5th saw alarge choir at St Agnes parish church provide a splendid
concert ablysupported by guest artists Jenna and Morwenna Matthews
who were verypopular with the audience.
The following Sunday the choir were lucky to have perfect
conditions fortheir outdoor evening concert at Mousehole. A large
crowd enjoyed theevent and showed their appreciation with a record
collection for choirfunds. The next Sunday was our annual midsummer
concert at Paul.Despite the weather a large audience enjoyed the 75
strong choir'sperformance of a varied programme. The guest soloist
was Nattie Mayer-‐Hutchings from the Cambridge University Gilbert
and Sullivan Society.
On the Friday of the same week the choir shared the Golowan
Galaconcert at St Mary's Church with the 36 strong Sierra Nevada
WindOrchestra from California. The choir have links with California
havingtoured there in 1999. Jon Pender referred to this in a short
speech ofwelcome.
So what has July in store for the choir ? We continue to
rehearse the newprogramme to be launched at the summer festival
concert at St Mary's,Penzance on the 7th August when the guest
soloist will be Faryl Smith -‐'Britain's Got Talent' finalist as a
young singer and now developed into awonderful performer.
On Friday 8th July we will be outdoors again at Mousehole's Sea,
Salts &Sail event on the south quay. On the 19th two buses are
conveying thechoir to Exeter Cathedral where we have been invited
to perform at the25th anniversary celebratory service for
Children's Hospice South West infront of royalty. This is an honour
for the choir and several men havetaken the day off work to attend.
The support from within the choir forwhat we do is immense.

Christian Aid Supper
We raised £320 on the night, not least because of one rowdy
table in thenorth east corner! The winning sealed bid for the
really generous week inGalicia brought the total to just under a
£1000. And a good time was hadby all as far as I could see. Though
Melvia was unimpressed by winning theraffle prize she had donated.
She 'gave' it to Ute!Thanks to everyone who donated and ate the
food.

Losing the Plot
Sorry, garden as the weeds they grow, but I have other seeds to
sow,
For I am young and in my prime; for hoeing, weeding, I've no
time.
Elderly neighbours think it grand, tending their precious plot
of land,
They give a wave and knowing frown as I go dashing into
town.
I think, poor souls, what a life, as they wield their pruning
knife.
The years have pased and, you can guess, the garden is in such a
mess.
Now I'm tending to its needs; gone are those unsightly
weeds.
Even bought a book on gardening -‐ must be that my love is
hardening.
In summer shade, a cup of tea, I look around and what I see
Makes me appreciate what I've got -‐ my life-‐enriching garden
plot.
So, old neighbour, forgive that youth, now much longer in the
tooth,
As I join your happy band, I think gardening's bloomin'
grand!

Losing the Plot
Sorry, garden as the weeds they grow, but I have other seeds to
sow,
For I am young and in my prime; for hoeing, weeding, I've no
time.
Elderly neighbours think it grand, tending their precious plot
of land,
They give a wave and knowing frown as I go dashing into
town.
I think, poor souls, what a life, as they wield their pruning
knife.
The years have pased and, you can guess, the garden is in such a
mess.
Now I'm tending to its needs; gone are those unsightly
weeds.
Even bought a book on gardening -‐ must be that my love is
hardening.
In summer shade, a cup of tea, I look around and what I see
Makes me appreciate what I've got -‐ my life-‐enriching garden
plot.
So, old neighbour, forgive that youth, now much longer in the
tooth,
As I join your happy band, I think gardening's bloomin'
grand!

Mousehole Male Voice Choir
June was an exceptionally busy month for the choir. Sunday the
5th saw alarge choir at St Agnes parish church provide a splendid
concert ablysupported by guest artists Jenna and Morwenna Matthews
who were verypopular with the audience.
The following Sunday the choir were lucky to have perfect
conditions fortheir outdoor evening concert at Mousehole. A large
crowd enjoyed theevent and showed their appreciation with a record
collection for choirfunds. The next Sunday was our annual midsummer
concert at Paul.Despite the weather a large audience enjoyed the 75
strong choir'sperformance of a varied programme. The guest soloist
was Nattie Mayer-‐Hutchings from the Cambridge University Gilbert
and Sullivan Society.
On the Friday of the same week the choir shared the Golowan
Galaconcert at St Mary's Church with the 36 strong Sierra Nevada
WindOrchestra from California. The choir have links with California
havingtoured there in 1999. Jon Pender referred to this in a short
speech ofwelcome.
So what has July in store for the choir ? We continue to
rehearse the newprogramme to be launched at the summer festival
concert at St Mary's,Penzance on the 7th August when the guest
soloist will be Faryl Smith -‐'Britain's Got Talent' finalist as a
young singer and now developed into awonderful performer.
On Friday 8th July we will be outdoors again at Mousehole's Sea,
Salts &Sail event on the south quay. On the 19th two buses are
conveying thechoir to Exeter Cathedral where we have been invited
to perform at the25th anniversary celebratory service for
Children's Hospice South West infront of royalty. This is an honour
for the choir and several men havetaken the day off work to attend.
The support from within the choir forwhat we do is immense.

Christian Aid Supper
We raised £320 on the night, not least because of one rowdy
table in thenorth east corner! The winning sealed bid for the
really generous week inGalicia brought the total to just under a
£1000. And a good time was hadby all as far as I could see. Though
Melvia was unimpressed by winning theraffle prize she had donated.
She 'gave' it to Ute!Thanks to everyone who donated and ate the
food.

RAMADAN IN TRURO
Feeding the Homeless
The Islamic Community world wide is in the middle of observing
Ramadan-‐ a time when Muslims are fasting from food and drink
between sunriseand sunset. This is especially challenging when
Ramadan falls in June andthe days are at their longest. Ramadan is
often portrayed as an endurancetest but this is a big
mis-‐understanding.
It is primarily a time of spiritual discipline and growth. As a
reduction offood intake causes a slow down in activity so more time
of rest offersmore scope for reflection on God and on
self-‐examination.
It is also a time of renewed charitable giving. A period of
going withoutfood can increase the awareness of those less
fortunate and who gohungry in our society.
So every Thursday evening in Ramadan, the Cornish Islamic Centre
aretaking food from their members catering establishments to St
Petroc’sSociety in Truro to give to the city's rough sleepers.
Challenging enoughbut imagine dealing with the smell of pizza when
it has been 16 hourssince you last ate and another 2 1/2 hours
until you can break your fast!
Perhaps the really amazing thing is that amongst those who were
helpingwere two Syrian Refugees, who have come to Cornwall under
the HomeOffice Resettlement Programme. Two weeks ago they were in a
camp onthe Syrian border and now in the UK as part of Cornish
Islamic communitythey offering practical help to those in need in
their new locality.

SHEFFIELD & DISTRICT WI
Anyone passing Paul Church Hall on the evening of our meeting
might havemistaken it as a comedy club rather than a W I meeting as
the laughter wasloud and lengthy.The person who was responsible for
the amusement was our guest speakerthe Reverend Canon Vanda Perett
who regaled us with her personal historyand also several “unusual”
events which had happened to her in theperformance of her work
within the Church.While working in a men’s prison (she was one of
only three women workingthere) she was liked and admired so much
that the inmates petitioned theclergy to allow her to become
ordained as a Chaplin .One occasion arose while serving in the
prison (working), when inmatesmade “hooch” in the font which to
their distress had to be poured awaybefore an inspection was made
in the Church -‐ something that was frownedupon by the staff but
quietly admired for their ingenuity.Occasional visits from previous
inmates still happen which is a sign of theircontinued respect
toward her.Vanda told us of the bride who kneeled at the altar and
her strapless dressfell lower than modesty would have allowed which
was discretely rectifiedto the amusement of the wedding guests.
Also the time when Vanda wasbeing ordained as a Canon at Salisbury
Cathedral; after prostrating inprayer she stood and as she
progressed toward the Arch Bishop she trod onher cassock and then
fell into his the lap -‐ head on! There were countlessanecdotes
recounted but no more disclosures for this press release.
Somestories touched our hearts rather than our funny bones but all
held ourattention.
The title of Vanda’s talk was “It shouldn’t happen to a Vicar”
and that title
says it all.
Before Vanda spoke our President Chris Rowland welcomed members
and
a guest from our neighbouring Isles of Scilly WI who was one of
hundreds
who would represent us all at the AGM in Brighton.
Chris along with Secretary Sue Snell outlined future events
happening
within the WI. and to name a few -‐ The Autumn Council meeting
at the
Hall for Cornwall with speakers Capt Dan Stembridge RN
commanding
officer RNAS Culdrose and TobyBuckland horticulturist and TV
broadcaster. A visit to Totness with river trip to Dartmouth,
spend a day
with David Chapman walking and photographing Tehidy Woods plus
our
own members evening walk and lunch at Tremenheere Sculpture
Gardens. Members were also asked to list their preference for
our trip to
either a meal at Jamie Oliver’s or coach to Exeter for Christmas
shopping/
show etc and any other suggestions.
Volunteers were also requested to help at the forthcoming Sea,
Salts and
Sails event in Mousehole.
Delicious teas were served after all the merriment and members
stayed
later than usual catching up and enjoying each others
company.
Visitors are always welcome to our meetings and as an appetiser
the title
of next months talk is “The Work of a Tri-‐ Safety Officer
“which will be
held at Paul Church Hall on Thursday 14th July at 7.30pm.
