Welcome to our Harvest Services this morning. Many thanks for all the donations which will be given to the Foodbank.

You are warmly invited to evening worship in St Catherine's chapel from 6.00 - 6.45pm today (Sunday). This will be a Service of the Word led by Andrew, followed by refreshments. The chapel is part of St Helens Community Centre, Guildford Road, PO33 1UH.

You are also warmly invited to our grand InfoPoint Launch (the first in an Island Church) on Saturday October 12th from 12.30pm in St. Mary-the-Virgin Church, Brading. Come along for fizz, canapés, coffee and a chance to try out our new, interactive tour, learning all about the church, its history and its people accessible through your (or a friend’s) smart phone.

On Sunday October 13th at 11.15am at St Peter’s, we have a Pet service led by Reader Caroline Baker. All humans and their pets welcome. If you would like to remember a deceased pet please bring along a photo.

St Peter’s Harvest Praise Service is on Wednesday 16th October at 10.30am. Come and sing-a-long, share your favourite Harvest or Autumn Poem plus have fun making an easy Harvest Craft. All are welcome. (This is a Dementia Friendly Service.)

You can view the Yaverland Manor art exhibition at St John’s Church, Yaverland on the 19th and 20th October. The winning entry will be displayed at the Manor and all other entries will be sold to raise funds for the disabled toilet and access ramp.

Congratulations to Helen Bradstock for reaching the final short-list in the ‘Green Champion’ category of the ‘Church Times’ 2024 Green Church awards. Helen was entered for her work in setting up the Community Fridge in St Helens (which has food available every day), and received a ‘Highly Commended’ certificate at a ceremony in London last week.

The Surplus Food Project, is coming to the Brading Youth and Community Centre every Monday from 14th October between 1.15 and 1.45pm. Food can be had for a donation and is surplus from supermarkets, but still good to eat. Spread the word!
