Tuesday

12:00-13:45 - Bible Bite

- 12:00 onwards - Snack lunch served in the church

- 13:00-13:45 - Bible Ministry

This is usually led by the Minister and comprises systematic teaching through a book of the Bible taking a passage each week.

This is an opportunity for people who are free in the daytime and visitors to meet over a snack lunch and to enjoy some fellowship and Bible teaching.

'Bible Bite' is a midweek opportunity for local Christians to meet over a snack lunch and to be fed from God's word. The meeting is from 13:00 to 13:45 every week at Shanklin United Reformed Church, except after Bank Holidays.  Light lunches are available from 12:00 for those attending.  The building with its distinctive clock tower is in the High Street and has a comfortable meeting area.  Nearest car park, a pay & display, is only 50m away in Landguard Road.

An Interactive Service

In 2008, we held a couple of services with a slightly different feel - it was interactive - the one from the 8^th June is pictured below when the theme was 'Transformed by the Bible '.

As you can see from the layout, the seating was different than normal to allow people to talk with each other more easily during the interactive bits.
