Open Air
Services
continue each Sunday until the end of August - 19:30 at the Bandstand, as in
past years. Please pray for those who will be leading and do come and share
in worship with local friends and holiday visitors. These are encouraging
and joyful times, bringing folk together. It is a stunning setting and a
great place to bring people who may not be ready for more formal church
worship. We are leading on 14th August with a guest from Jews for
Jesus.
In September,
the plan is to move back indoors and meet at 18:30 for the first couple of
months at least, moving around various churches.
Fr Marcin
Drabik from South Wight Catholic parish is travelling to Poland and Ukraine
again and will be away most of August. Do please hold him in your prayers as
he seeks to offer support to the church and the chaplains working there.
Some of you
will know Fr Brian Coogan, a lovely Sprit-filled man who is still active in
small ways in the parish – now aged 98. You may have spotted a picture in
the County Press as he has just celebrated an incredible 75 years as a
priest. May the Lord continue to use him to inspire and bless God’s people. |
It
was great to be able to share in outdoor witness over the Easter weekend
after a couple of years of restrictions. Both the Procession of Witness
on Good Friday (pictured below) and the Sunrise Service (pictured
right) enjoyed great weather and were well supported.
