Penzance Town Pastors

‘Town Pastors Pz’ is the successor project to our very successful ‘Street Pastors’ project which began in 2013 and was disbanded after Covid 19 social distancing made it impossible to work out in the town as before.

Covid 19 also gave us the opportunity of amicably breaking from The Ascension Trust which governs Street Pastors. This will allow us to be more flexible in a local context.   Volunteers no longer need to come from local churches and so we look forward to welcoming all those who are able to generously give of their time, skills and care.   Training will still be given focusing more on local circumstances. Uniform will have a name and logo for ‘Town Pastors PZ’.

We warmly welcome new volunteers to help re-launch this service to our community. They will be better able to work with changes in the local night economy.  ‘Town Pastors PZ’  hope to work in close association with the ‘Night Church Penzance’ project which began in November 2023 based at St. Mary’s Church in Chapel Street.

Currently a small prayer group meets at 9.15 on Thurday mornings at High Street Methodist Chapel, for quiet prayer for this project.   Some of us would also like to ‘prayer walk’ our locality.    All are most welcome – please let us know if you are interested by email:  penzancetownpastors@churchestogetherinpenzance.co.uk

A prayer for our Town:

We speak God’s blessing over our community and speak life over our town,
and we pray for families that are struggling in poverty and with ill health.
We bless every wholesome business with prosperity and growth,
and we pray for new investment, innovation and enterprise to come into our area.
We bless the land and the sea and those who work them, that their yield may increase and their labour be lightened.
We pray for our police, fire fighters, paramedics, and our life boat personnel  –  that they carry out their roles with courage, wisdom and God’s supernatural protection.
We pray for our MP, our Cornwall, Town and Parish Councillors that they govern with wisdom, diligence and Godly values.
We bless our schools and colleges, that they excel as places of learning and,
we pray for the teaching and support staff. We pray for the children and teenagers that they will learn with diligence and ambition.
We bless our hospitals with a spirit of excellence in their care and pray for all patients that are treated there.
We bless the churches that they be renewed by the Holy Spirit and made ready for revival. We pray for each minister and their congregations that they will experience more of God’s presence.
We speak peace, hope and restoration over our community and over the hearts and minds of everyone in it.
In the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen
