BREATHE OUT OF HIGH STREET

LEAVING the Wharfside Centre!!

Here’s an update from April 2021. Just as the lockdown eases Breathe received our notice to leave our current location in the Wharfside Centre, Penzance. It’s with great sadness that we hand over our keys on 14 April and move to temporary storage.

Huge thank you to the Wharfside manager James. He’s been a great help and very supportive throughout our time there. We’re now looking for new premises to operate Breathe from. We expect to be back on the high street before the end of 2021.

Huge thanks to everyone who has walked through the door, been part of our growing community. Special thanks to our core members. They’ve put so much time and effort into Breathe. You made it friendly, welcoming and relaxed. A great space to share life and faith together.

We’ll keep updating this page as things change. When future plans are confirmed you’ll see it here or if you are on our Mailchimp mailing list you will receive news there too! If you want to get on that list please just drop you a line and we will add you.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR OTHER CONTENT ON YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK. Maybe you arrived here by clicking on a link from our BREATHE LIVE videos. We’d love you to check them out and catch up with what we’ve been up to!

Facebook Community

Check out our Breathe Communities Facebook page. We run a fun and entertaining magazine type, interactive community time. EVERYONE’s welcome and we love people to participate by sending comments, prayer needs and whatever you have created!!

We will continue to be creative and embrace art in different ways while keeping the thread of Christian spirituality throughout. We use the bible, we pray to God and we support our community however we can.

This period of lockdown or isolation we are facing as a planet is tough on each of us. We want to encourage you and engage you and bless you wherever you are and whatever you are facing.

God bless you.

With love,

Murray and Karen Golder

THIS is where we began..

We opened the doors of our new shop unit on Thursday 6th September and welcomed our first visitors in to BREATHE, CREATE and GROW!

BREATHE – We are creating a place for people to come and find space in their busy lives to stop, rest, and relax, maybe even receive prayer from one of our gifted team members…

CREATE – We believe that we are all made in the image of our creative God and so contain the ability to be creative… So, come on in, and join us to discover new skills and talents, create something along the lines of the current theme, be inspired and inspire others to be amazing!!

GROW – We are all looking to progress on life’s journey, Breathe is a place to grow in relationship with one another and with God. So, wherever you are on the journey our prayer is that you will take the opportunity to move forward and grow spiritually and emotionally in a safe space…

THEMES

Every two weeks there will be a new theme for us to creatively explore… Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday we will be open for you to release your creativity..

About

We are Breathe Communities.

Breathe started out working in Cornwall in 2015 when Murray and Karen Golder moved down to Penzance from Derby sensing that God wanted them to do something that was a deliberately different way to seek him and encounter him.

This is partly born out of necessity as they have a child with special needs who finds traditional church a very hard way to get close to God.

We have worked with different groups in different places, organised different events and met with various groups and individuals until in mid-2017 we were approached about a shop unit in the Wharfside Centre in the centre of Penzance.

We have just ended 4 years working out of the Wharfside and are looking for a new shop location in Penzance towards the end of 2021 where once again we will help people find God in creative and non-traditional ways…

If you would like to find out more about what this means or what is planned then please get in touch with us at breathecommunities@gmail.com

Thanks for your love and support!

Murray and Karen

MOVING ONLINE

From high street to live stream We have been dreaming for the past 5 years, not day dreaming you understand, but dreaming of what it would be like to connect the things of God to people who have never thought of him. It started with the search for the proper platform, we tried everything (it …

GROW and GROW

This week at Breathe we are exploring the theme of GROW… We’ll be looking at the WHAT, WHY, WHEN and HOW of GROW…. How will YOU interact with this theme? What will you draw? write? rhyme? sing? play? model? say? discuss? ask? feel? GROW is such an interesting subject, there are already many interesting pieces …

Farewell to George

On the 24th January 2020 Breathe said it’s final farewell to a much loved member of our community in Penzance. George was a regular, daily regaling us with stories and songs of his amazing life in the entertainment industry after the second world war, and his life saving adventures rescuing people after air raids around …
