June Events
Calling all Cake Bakers! FESTIVAL -  8 - 11th June 2017
 
Ced Wells has decided that this year he would take a well-deserved break and he is leaving it to the team who helped him run the event. This year we are serving up tea ,coffee ,cakes and hot food all free; the main difference is that we will not be in the Festival site ,we are based St. Paul's Church, Barton, · Newport, Isle Of Wight PO30 2HZ
 
Hosted by Christians from a number of Island churches, Solace provides an opportunity for completely free chill out. It provides a chance for people to take a break and have a free cup of tea and a slice of cake with other activities on offer such as prayer, feet washing and live music.
 
The vision behind Solace is to show festival goers an expression of God's unconditional Love and Grace for us all. This is a gift from the churches on the Island. Over the 12 years we have been running it the response has been incredible and we are seeing God at work more and more each time we do it.
 
We are appealing for some help in all this as we need an army of intercessors and cake bakers behind us!
 
1. PRAY - Please pray for Solace. For the team to serve well and for the people who come to discover the reality of Jesus' love and healing power.
2. BAKE some Cakes! - We need as many cakes as possible.
 
Thank you Ben Mulhern

Exhibition at Quarr Abbey Art Gallery

Summer Show
Andrew Dowden
Ceramic Artist

Quarr Abbey, Nr Fishbourne, Ryde, Isle of Wight PO33 4ES
Thursday 6 to Tuesday 11 July 2017
10am to 5pm
FREE ENTRY to Exhibition, Abbey and grounds

Isle of Wight Ceramic Artist, Andrew Dowden, will be showing a collection of unique and distinctive handmade, hand-carved ceramics and complementary textured wall art at the Quarr Abbey Art Gallery.

Quarr Abbey is sited in tranquil grounds with landscaped gardens, the tea shop and farm shop being particularly popular with visitors. The Gallery holds weekly exhibitions, and is one of the main venues for exhibiting local art on the Island, having built up a regular following since opening in 2011. This is an opportunity to view Andrew Dowden's work and buy directly from the artist. A percentage of all exhibition sales goes to the Abbey.

Ideas and designs for Andrew's ceramic work come from various sources including nature, machinery and engineering, architecture, and archaeology. Andrew was inspired to take up ceramics whilst researching a book on Isle of Wight pottery. 'Pottery has been made on the Island since Neolithic times,' says Andrew. 'Learning about pottery and its history, and actually working through the different stages of each making process, has made me appreciate this ancient art.' Surface texture and form are Andrew's main interest, and textured designs have also been incorporated into his oil-painted wall art. A carpenter for 20 years, Andrew made the teak frames from a 1950s sideboard.

Ceramic tile panels, wall plaques and standing forms such as Tumbling Squares, Standing Stones and Wheel Forms, together with new work, will be on show.  'I primarily make pieces for my own interest and satisfaction,' he says, 'but it pleases me to know that people who buy my work appreciate it too.'

The gallery will be open from 10am-5pm each day. Admission is free.

Disabled access - Licensed Tea room and gardens - Farm shop - Visitor centre - Bookshop - Old abbey ruins - Woodland walk - Toilets - Large free car park

FREE training course about terrorism / hate crime particularly against faith groups

Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP) – Train the Trainer
Target Group:  Any delegates interested in delivering WRAP training in their workplace
Course Aims:  Prevent is part of the governments counter terrorism strategy, the aim of which is to reduce the risk to the UK of terrorism by stopping people becoming terrorists in the first place.  The programme has three main aims:
•         Respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it
•         Prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support; and
•         Work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that we need to address
In order to implement this training across the island we are asking people to attend a one day train the trainer event which will accredit delegates to then deliver basic Prevent Awareness to other staff within their organisation.
Notes:
It is important to remember that Prevent has come direct from the Home Office, and as such anyone who agrees to attend the Train-the-Trainer course will then be responsible for cascading Prevent Awareness to others in their service areas/organisation, and as such must have the time available to do so.
To book a place on this course, please use the Training Catalogue that can be accessed via the Employee Self Service Portal.
https://www.iwight.com/trainingcourses/courseDetail.aspx?catId=6&subCatId=25&courseId=2048
If you do not have access to the corporate network please complete an online application form and return to learning.development@iow.gov.uk
We also ask that all delegates complete the online training module, which can be found here
Course Trainer:  Jonathan Finch

Date: 04 October 2017    Time: 2 pm - 4:30 pm

All Island Worship Event 2018

Friday 26th January 2018 with Roy Crowne - Venue yet to be agreed
When we met together this January about 350 of us from across the Island gathered to worship and benefit from an excellent  speaker. Our prayer is that an even greater number of us will take these opportunities once a year to come together as one church on the Island. Put the date in your diary now!

More about Roy Crowne

Roy became HOPE Together Executive Director in March 2010 and was previously the National Director of Youth for Christ in Britain for 12 years. Roy has written and edited a peer-to-peer evangelistic training course, called 'The Art of Connecting'.  He was one of the founders of HOPE 08. HOPE 08 closed its office in 2009, but since then many churches, denominations and agencies have endorsed its re-commencement. He is very excited about Hope going forwards, which will bring Word and Deed missions to many villages, towns and cities. He is the most positive and enthusiastic HOPE visionary you could ever meet. He will continue his preaching, teaching and mentoring younger leaders. Roy is married to Flossie, lives in Rugby and they have two sons, John and Michael.

Fátima
 
This year is the Centenary Year of the miraculous apparitions of The Blessed Virgin Mary to the three young shepherd children near Fátima in Portugal.  True to its Anglo-Catholic traditions, Saint Alban's Church in Upper Ventnor began celebrating this Centenary last Saturday, 13th May, the 100th anniversary of the First Apparition, when we were joined by people of other parishes and denominations. 
 
The appearances at Fátima began at the height of the First World War, when Our Lady asked the children to pray for peace, for forgiveness, for holiness.  Our Lady came to them every month for a period of six months.  Word soon spread and more and more people attended these appearances, until on 13th October 1917 an estimated crowd of 70 000 were present.
 
Despite opposition from the authorities at the time, Fátima soon became a place of pilgrimage and a small chapel was built on the site.  In the 1930s a great basilica was built nearby but the original chapel still remains as the principle shrine and the Sanctuary of Fátima.  The eldest of the three children, Lucia de Jesus dos Santos, became a Carmelite nun and lived until 2005.  The process of her canonisation has begun.  Her cousins, brother and sister Francisco and Jacinta de Jesus Marto died in the worldwide flu pandemic in 1919/20.  They were canonised by Pope Francis before a crowd of over one million in Fátima last Saturday.
 
The service at St. Alban's included a short film (courtesy of the internet) of the day’s events in Fatima and concluded with various snacks, custard tarts and fruits brought over freshly from Portugal the previous day.  Further services and events to celebrate - and respond to - the apparitions of Our Lady of The Rosary of Fátima are planned for the coming months.  We will do our best to keep you posted of these events, in the hope that you will join us.  Forgiveness, holiness and peace are as important now as they were then.

Volunteer for NYAS

 
•       Do you want to make a difference to a young person’s life?
•       Do you have 1- 4 hours per month to spare?
 
We urgently require more volunteers, so why not volunteer as a mentor/befriender for NYAS as an Independent Visitor for children and young people in care. 
 
As a volunteer you will:
•       Have fun, take young people on outings and maybe share a hobby, sport or interest.
•       Offer support and a listening ear and be a positive influence in a young person’s life.
•       Help build self-esteem and confidence.
 
You don’t need any special qualifications.
We are looking for reliable and dependable people from all walks of life.
We will provide training and on-going support.
We will pay expenses to a set limit.
 
Here is what some of our young people and volunteers have to say about this rewarding role:
•       I like how my Independent Visitor isn’t anything to do with social services and is here to support me, not to judge.
•       They have boosted my confidence.  Now I feel like when I go places I can just relax and have fun.
•       My Young person always looks forward to me coming.  They have had such a disjointed life and I am a stable figure in their life. This has to be important for them as everything else changes around them a lot.
 
If you would like to apply, please visit our website www.nyas.net
