Services
Our doors open at 2.30pm on a Sunday (except when there is a different arrangement - see below), ready to start the service with the lighting of the Chalice at 3pm
For the early part of 2010, we will be meeting fortnightly as follows:
Sundays 14th February and 14th March 2010 -
the Revd. Martin Whitell (John Pounds, Portsmouth and Chairman of our Trustees) will lead the service
Sunday 28th February 2010 -
Service at 3pm - speaker/theme to be arranged
Sunday 28th March 2010 -
the Val; Worthington(John Pounds, Portsmouth and a Newport trustee) will lead the service
Our services of worship combine traditional and modern hymns, prayers, music, quietness and a (shortish but often lively or provocative) sermon with new ideas. We see our religious beliefs as relevant to all aspects of life including the wider community. Our services are led by Ministers or Lay Leaders from the local area (including from our neighbour churches in Portsmouth and Southampton) as well as by members of the congregation
We enjoy a wide variety of perspectives from our service leaders and try to hold special
themed services for commemorations such as Human Rights Day, Remembrance Sunday, World
AIDS Day, as well as incorporating aspects and wisdom from the Christian and other
religious faiths - combining, we hope, tradition with interpretation.
All visitors and enquirers are made most welcome and are invited to join us for
coffee and a chat if they wish - or just attend he service if you prefer.
