Activities

Prayer - we believe that prayer is essential to the life of the church and our ministry in the community. All of our regular programmes incorporate a strong emphasis on prayer. We hold regular days of prayer to seek God's guidance and direction.

Bible Study groups - various groups meet in the week during the daytime and evenings. These are precious opportunities to grow closer to God and to build relationships.

Cat_URpillars - parent and child activity session for babies & toddlers held Thursdays 12:45 - 14:30 and Fridays 10:30 - 12:30. See separate page for more details.

Wednesday Special - for the more mature in years. A chance to meet new friends, have fun and some tea together… plus a pause for thought about God. This is held once a month, on a Wednesday afternoon.

Fellowship Breakfasts - Saturday gatherings for men and for women take place every now and then over a cooked breakfast.

Summer Picnics - held once each month in June, July and August, after our All-Age Services.

Church Day Away - an annual time to go deeper with God and with one another.

Prayer Group For The Suffering Church - this prayer group has been meeting in Shanklin for 22 years this year and comes from several different churches. Meets monthly in the church on the second Monday of the month at 14:00 - if attending, please use the Landguard Road entrance.

Our monthly church magazine, 'The Link', gives more details on church activities and is available from the back of the church on a subscription basis. Please e-mail the editor for details.

Other Support Activities

Prayer Ministry Team - is available every Sunday after the 11:00 service to pray with you.

Christian Healing Ministry - we believe that the church is charged with the task of continuing the work that the Lord Jesus Christ began and that healing is an important part of its ministry. Jesus is the only true healer and he works both through medicine and through the prayers of his people. We follow the Biblical practice of 'the laying on of hands' for healing. Please contact the minister if you have a particular need in this area.

Lending Library - we have a library of Christian books, which are available to anyone interested.

Sermons On-Line - recent sermons can been heard on line at www.shanklinurcmedia.org.uk.

If you missed a service or were out leading a Junior Church Group this is a great alternative of keeping in touch.

Outreach

Alpha Courses - these are held periodically for those who want to find out more about the Christian faith. This and other outreach events and activities are now being developed with other local Christians.

See the Christians Working Together In Shanklin page for more details.

Services at Greyfriars Residential Home - held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 10:30.

Services at Springfield Nursing Home - held on the last Friday of each month at 11:00.

This creative display was put together one Christmas for the neighbouring shop window at Boots.
It provoked much comment.
