Offering an alternative laid-back cafe-style worship with lunch around small tables, our aim is to reach out to people who wouldn't normally attend church. We seek to make our worship accessible & easy to understand for new believers without a faith background by providing a brief reflection to help sustain them in their faith during the week (and with additional resources they can dip into online on the FAITHCAFE IOW YouTube Channel). People living alone benefit from eating together & the support of a small community to explore faith within a relaxed setting.
Here is our alternative service for Epiphany with a cartoon 'We 3 Kings,' a clip showing Ukrainian customs, Agnus Deo sung by a Ukrainian choir & a short reflection. HYMNS & SONGS: Brightest & Best from the Gettys, My Heart is on a Journey by Stel Hardiman & In the Deep Mid-Winter sung by Jamie Cullum. The worship ends with Kari Jobe singing Take my Life and Let it Be. Youtube ClipMembership of Faithcafe

Mention has been made of the need to have a partnership meeting involving the Isle of Wight Council, Town and Parish Councils, voluntary and community groups and potentially other partners to share intelligence and concerns on the impact of and response to the cost of living and winter pressure crises facing our community.

My name is Lucy Nicholas and I am a volunteer champion for home for good. A few years ago before the pandemic hit, we were part of a group that helped to launch the charity on the Isle of Wight. But with everything closing down, we were at a loss about what we could do. Now that everything is opening up again, a few of us were approached by Adopt South to find out if there were any island churches who would like to engage with them.
My request is therefore two fold.
1) to see if anyone would like to join our Facebook group (link below), so that we could arrange an information event which Adopt South can join. If you are not on social media, please email me in lucynich14@gmail.com and let me know your interest.
2) To find out if there are any other Christian adoptive parents / foster carers on the island who would like to have a regular meet up where we can provide prayer or peer support for each other. Most probably this could happen quarterly so that it won't be too much of a commitment for anyone.
If anyone can circulate this amongst their church families, I would be ever so grateful. Thanks very much for reading, love and prayers to you all.
In the grounds of La Charpenterie, parts of which date back to the 15th Century. Great for all year round breaks; both with Wood Burning Stoves. Pet friendly
Steve and Helen were formerly members of the Church on the Isle of Wight and, with family here, regularly visit.
