What's On

Benefice Book Group

All are welcome to the next meeting of the Benefice Book Group on Wednesday 28 September at 7.30pm in St Mary's church hall to discuss Black Sheep and Prodigals by Dave Tomlinson. This is a short, accessible and provocative book attacking what the author calls ‘black and white religion’. Do get a copy and come along to share your thoughts. Further info from Catherine on 07940 826034 or Andrew 07503 200630.

St Peter’s Church Harvest Lunch

All places for the Harvest lunch on Saturday 1st October are now filled - if you haven’t let us know you’re coming I’m afraid it’s too late to book a place. Sally Rivlin

Sandown and Shanklin Military Band

St Mary’s November Events

A Quiz Night in the church hall starting at 7.00pm on 4th November.

 Brading Community Choir is making a return visit on 5th November to sing at our Saturday morning Open Cafe. We will be serving teas, coffee and, more importantly, cakes!! We will be there from 10:30am until 1:00pm - please make a date in your diary.

Our Church Cleaning Party will meet at 10:00am on Saturday 19th November. All help welcome and it is a good way to work off all those important cakes!

Do you have a spare seat in your car when you come to Church ?

Sometimes as many as 4 taxis come to our churches each week. Not only is this expensive but also ecologically poor practice. The journeys are all local and if you think you could help please contact Sylvia on 01983 612600.

Deadline for items to be included in the Pew Sheets is 4pm on Thursday to allow for compilation, printing and distribution.
