Every five years we are required to completely revise the Electoral Roll for the church so if you would like your name to be included on the roll for
St Mary the Virgin, Brading please see Catherine Davis.
St Peter’s, Seaview please see Elizabeth Chandler.
St Helen’s, St Helens please see Sue Whitewick.
There are also forms at the back of those churches. You will need to complete a new form to be included (even if you have done one before) and the roll will close at the end of February and no new names will be added until after the APCMs. You need to be on the electoral roll to vote for churchwardens and PCC members at the APCM.

The next Eco Church is this Sunday 26th January, at 3.30pm at St Helen's Church. We are hoping for fine weather for checking the bird boxes in the churchyard! We will have a bring and share supper afterwards. All are welcome. Contact Helen Bradstock for information: 07503 200620.

The first Jumble Sale of 2025 in St Mary’s Church hall is on Saturday 22nd February, doors open 2.00pm. Jumble can be left from 11.00am. Refreshments and a raffle will also be available.

Date for your diary: An Old Time Music Hall on 8th March at 7.30pm at the Masonic Hall, Seaview. Tickets are £15.00 each and can be booked from Suki Turner Suki(dot)turner(at)icloud(dot)com. Proceeds are in aid of St Peter’s Church and Children in need in Liberia.

Many thanks to everyone who has supported our events so far this year– coffee morning and quizzes, lunch and concert (and we’re not even one month in!)

Please do remember that some of the churches can take electronic donations from the card reader near the main entrance. The one at St Peter’s is now back online and these donations are greatly appreciated. Thank You.

At the beginning of the day walk confidently with God, knowing his love within you, his peace surrounding you and his supporting strength through all that faces you.
