What's On

Advent Course

We will be starting an Advent Course based on the book How Rural Churches Thrive which is available on line at £9.99. This is an easy to read and practical book that is applicable to all churches in our Haven Benefice, providing encouragement and challenging us as we prepare for our future as a Benefice. It will run each Wednesday evening in Brading Church Hall between 6pm and 7.30pm starting on Wednesday 9th November.

Sandown and Shanklin Military Band

Sandown and Shanklin Military Band will be playing at St Mary's on Sunday 16th October at 3pm.
Volunteers are needed to make cakes and/or serve teas and coffees at the end of the concert.
