Rev Bevaly hosts an online Together in Prayer group on a Thursday from 6.30pm for half an hour to pray for the world, the church and each other. For the Zoom code to join us in prayer or to be prayed for please email revbevrackett(at)gmail(dot)com or see Rev Bev.

Every six 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.
St John’s, Yaverland please see Kev Norton.
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.

We are hoping to hold Confirmation classes this year, so if you are considering the next steps on your faith journey and feel this is something you would be interested in or would like to chat about please see (or contact) Rev Bevaly.
