 United Prayer Meetings

This quiet
time of sharing our personal prayers, praying for our work and witness
together in Shanklin, deepens our faith and our love for one another.
We meet weekly on Saturday mornings for a prayer meeting
at
09:00 in Shanklin URC.

The season of open air praise services
starts each year on Pentecost Sunday and runs through to the end of August.
Different groups take it in turns to lead the meetings and always
attracts a good number of holiday visitors - if the weather isn't fair then
we resort to meeting in one of Shanklin's Churches.

are, see
How To Find Us.
