November 2nd
Our annual All Souls service, this year, is being held on Sunday November 2nd in St. Andrew’s in Chale at 5pm.
The service is a time for those who have lost a loved one, or a friend to come together and to remember them. As part of the service, the names of those we wish to remember will be read out and the opportunity given to light a candle in their memory.
You can come along, and sit quietly, you can join in with the prayers and hymns if you wish, or you may want to come and weep, but you will be with others who may also be struggling.
If you cannot join us, but would like to have someone remembered and their name mentioned, please let me have their name.
November 9th – Remembrance Sunday

As you know we always run our Reverse Advent campaign throughout November, asking for specific donations to make up a Christmas bag that goes out with our normal allocation in December so that clients have a little extra for the festive season. For those of you who are new or need a refresher , this is how it works…
WHAT IS A REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR?
From November 1st - 24th, follow along with our Reverse Advent Calendar and each day give an item to support a local person in crisis. Together we can make a difference.
A Reverse Advent Calendar is a great way to show that Christmas is about giving as well as receiving. It works much like an advent calendar but each day there is an item to donate. Please join us in this heartwarming initiative and help us spread love and kindness throughout the Isle of Wight.
Of course, we do not expect everyone to buy all of the items on the list ( if you do – that’s amazing!) but ask that you donate what you can or work as a group and donate one item each. However you can help, it would be appreciated.
Just so you know if you can get the items to our Cowes head office by November 28th, we will be able to get these out to our clients all through December. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me at the number below.

I am excited about my forthcoming trip north in November. So grateful for the invitations to speak and opportunities to minister in Cheshire and Yorkshire. There is an itinerary below with still a few gaps in the schedule if you would like me to come to your neck of the woods.
The Third Edition of Lake of Tears is doing well, and I have just received the translated transcript of the book in Portuguese, which I am really pleased with. Thank you, Jose, for sterling work.
I have been shooting some short vids for Instagram - 'Views from my Greenhouse' for which I am getting some good feedback - thank you. You can check it out here....
On a personal note, things have been a bit busy here. We are now grandparents of four. Katie's wee boy Isaac was born in April and Chloe's wee girl Florence was born in May. Glad tidings of great joy. I've heard that phrase before, somewhere else!
I will be in touch shortly when my visa comes through for Yorkshire, but for now, may the Lord bless and keep you.
Kelvin

"Revive Newport is nearly 20 years old and is now a Christian charity that represents the Church in Newport to the young people of the town, who have nowhere else to go. We are committed to helping young people living in Newport through life's challenges. We see each person as created by God with unique worth and loved by Him. We want to help enable them to become the best that they can be.
This is done through our twice weekly youth club - Newport Youth Café (NYC), which is attended annually by more than 200 different young people. Our aim is that NYC is a place that they can come to and just be themselves, play pool, do creative activities, and play video games and other activities, but can also do homework and chat about the problems they may be facing. The café supports young people through their time at Secondary School from ages 13 - 17. Our goals are to reduce Anti-social behaviour, tackle loneliness and isolation, improve mental health and improve education standards.
Our youth work team also go out and around Newport Town Centre, 2 - 3 times a week and engage with the young people we meet. We are annually talking to over 1000 young people, checking they are ok, offering support and sometimes defusing situations if things are getting out of hand.
We are currently looking to increase our Volunteer staff, which would enable more engagement with the young people. There are different ways in which you can volunteer. It could be by helping with the tuck shop, manning the door, playing pool or a board game, or by sitting and doing some arts and crafts. If you feel this could be you, then please do get in touch by emailingadmin@revivenewport.org.
If volunteering isn’t for you we would also really value your support by praying for our work and also helping financially which you can do by visiting our websiteat and click on donate. We look forward to hearing from you!"
