Sunday @ Seven

When: Sunday Nights 19.00 – 20.30

Who: Anyone aged 18+

Price: Completely Free!

Does God exist? So what if he does? What Christianity is about, is it just a load of rules or boring church services? If I believe in God, how can he help me at school or is God really with me all the time, even though my life is so difficult and things seem so rubbish? Why are we here? Why is this group called Sunday @ Seven? Have you found yourself asking these questions?

We meet together to explore some of these things and what is means to be a Christian and how the Christian faith can affect us today! And discover the amazing Love and the things God has planned for us! Sound interesting, or even exciting? Then come and join us on a Sunday evening - at Seven!

Junior Church

Our Church caters for young people of all ages.

On Sunday mornings the Junior Church provides activities for 3 - 15 year olds in several different groups.

There is usually a crèche provided and we also have an area at the back of the Church for parents with younger children which has books and quiet toys.  On the second Sunday of the month a special activity session is run for pre-school children - we call it Noah's Ark.

There are all age services at the end of each month, often with many of the children participating.

Holiday Bible Club
organised by
Christians Working Together in Shanklin

Our team has been deeply involved in developing this fun activity for children that is held at the start of the summer holidays in July.

The Shanklin Holiday Bible Club is run in July for 5 - 10 year olds, with around 100 local children attending.  It's great fun for all the kids, bringing home the Bible with singing, dancing, drama, crafts, games and fun.

See the Christians Working Together page for details.

Later each year, on 31st October, a reunion to the Holiday Bible Club is held - The Highlight Party This is organised as an alternative to Halloween and is very popular amongst Shanklin children.
