We are delighted to be partnering with Christ for all nations and churches across the Island for Lionheart outreach. There are 7 bases across the Island where Christ for all Nations will be holding evangelistic workshops in 7 bases at the same time and then will be heading on to the streets to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

(Isle of Wight motto)
Creation Matters! is a network of individuals, from churches across the Isle of Wight, that seeks to encourage and inspire creation care on and around the Island. We seek to bring hope and practical good news to the places where we live through innovative community engagement.
Creation Matters! was formed in 2022 and has attracted Christians from churches across the Isle of Wight. The aim is to encourage and inspire creation care through developing an understanding of the Christian response to climate change and improving biodiversity. Anybody can join the network on the understanding that it is distinctly a Christian initiative.
We gather, discuss and disseminate practical information and advice and bring prayerful hope to this beautiful Island through community engagement within and beyond the Christian church.
We have been supported and inspired in our development by Christian organisations such as A Rocha UK, Tearfund and Hope for the Future.
Our plans include:
• Presenting our thoughts to the parliamentary candidates this year in the hope that
creation care is a high priority for the next Government.
• Celebrating relevant initiatives across the Island.
• Supporting churches to work towards an Eco Church award.
• Empowering Christians to raise creation care issues in all aspects of their worship
and church life.
• Developing a Creation Matters! website for awareness raising, support, and the
sharing of information and resources.

We are looking forward to Lionheart Festival 2024 from the 26th to 28th of July. We invite you to take part and would like to offer you the opportunity to represent your Business, Ministry, or Charity at Lionheart Festival 2024.
We do not charge a 'pitch fee'. Our hope, aim, and prayer is to all work together.
Lionheart Festival provides a space for believers to be refreshed, restored, and revived. Along with a place where ‘not yet believers’ can experience God and ‘the church’ as a united body in celebration in the great outdoors.
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.

Helping churches with their youtube thumbnails for their weekly livestream, so that instead of having the same image, each livestream has a designed thumbnail suitable for the specific message. The idea of this is that this way the videos get viewed more by the public when they see a thumbnail specifically representing that talk. Website
