Helland Church, Cornwall

Helland church

When I first entered the church I felt a bit confused in the Spirit and initially was distracted by some beautiful banners and then an exquisite embroidery on the organ. The stained glass colours of greens and blues were particularly unusual and startlingly beautiful.

However the moment I sat to settle and pray all became still and peaceful around me. When the presence of God comes there is nothing better.

I find my spirit singing ‘It is well with my soul’.

The church is situated within a raised churchyard which could well be a circular lan of an original Christian Celtic settlement.
