ABLAZE Arts Festival will be taking place on the 14th and 15th September 2024. It will be held at two venues: The Priory in Carisbrooke and Aspire in Ryde. I believe it is significant for this time as The Spirit moves through His Church in power and direction. This will be a free ticketed event so be sure to put it into your diaries.
It was last held at Aspire in 2019, a celebration of the creativity that Father God has given His children, one that overflows with His love, ability and mercy for all.
Now we have another great oppoirtunity, to offer Him praise through what we create, whether it be poetry, prayer, painting, drama, sewing, cooking or music. The list is endless. Put simply, whatever creative gift we have received from The Lord and would like to share with others.
This event will be a great opportunity to both demonstrate these gifts and to discover new ones. It is also an invitation from the Church family on the Isle of Wight to everyone in the community. It will be free of charge in every way.
There will be living workshops to help rediscover any hidden talents that have been buried by life's difficult journey and a chance to participate and to grow and become the people we were designed to be.
We believe that our Heavenly Father is passionate about reaching out to us all, bringing healing and transformation through the Arts.
Our prayer is that you will join us on these exciting two days and see that this is an invitation to participate by sharing your gifts, and also to receive the blessings by experiencing the light of His presence, new found freedom and healing through the Arts. Jesus encourages us to let our lights shine and not keep them hidden.
“In the same way let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father” Matt Ch5 v16 NLT
“The only letter of recommendation we need is you yourselves. Your lives are a letter written in our hearts; everyone can read it and recognise our good work among you”2Cor. Ch 3 v2.
If you feel and know that you are able to contribute through your gifting then please speak to your church leaders or connect with me on suezi@mail.com. Lets set the Island Ablaze with His Glory!
Blessing and love in Jesus Name, Suzi Anderson & the ABLAZE Team,
Imagine 100,000 Christians on the streets at Christmas singing Carols and sharing the Gospel everywhere!
A nationwide Christmas campaign called Shine Your Light, will be taking place this year over the weekend of 13th – 15th December 2024.
This UK and Ireland grassroots movement saw over 75,000 Christians from over 700 churches take their Carol services and nativity events into shopping centres, town halls, high streets and public spaces last December. This was suggested by many leaders to be one of the largest Christmas outreaches on behalf of the UK Church.
Shine Your Light is a united collaboration of many Christian Denominations, organisations, local churches, and networks; including The Salvation Army, Bible Society, Evangelical Alliance and hundreds of local congregations in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Many church and national leaders endorsed the event including the Prime Minster, Downing Street and politicians. The weekend was highlighted by many media outlets including Good Morning Britain where hundreds of thousands heard that Shine Your Light was about proclaiming Christ at Christmas!
To see Christians recognised for taking the message of hope and joy to our communities from 10 Downing Street was so encouraging. We are praying that the Prime Minister and his new Government would equally get behind this campaign.
As a result of Shine Your Light last year, we heard stories of people coming to faith and churches welcoming in new people. It showed that when Christians come together for the Gospel, whole communities can be reached!
This Christmas, the vision is to mobilise over 100,000 Christians outdoors to reach 1 million people in the streets and public places with the Gospel. Last year, we heard of hundreds of flashmob style carol events, open air Christingle services and nativity events from the small to the large including some in Castles, country parks and housing estates.
This year, the vision is to see how the united Church can put CHRIST back into Christmas so that the whole nation can hear the bold proclamation of Good News and why we sing “Joy To The World!”
All our Shine Your Lights events are solely focused on enabling the true message of Christmas to be heard by those outside the Church. While it is acknowledged, Church attendance increases during the Christmas season, there will be many who will not darken the door of a church.
The church has a unique opportunity this year in towns, villages and cities to bring Light and Joy to many through our boldness and unity.
Put the date of Shine Your Light in your denomination or church diary now: Friday 13th – Sunday 15th December 2024.
We encourage you to register today to join the movement of Believers responding to this Gospel Call!

A chance to help shape local mental health, community and learning disability services in Hampshire and Isle of Wight
There are two Isle of Wight constituency Public Governor vacancies open for Isle of Wight residents. Do you know someone who is passionate about healthcare in Hampshire and Isle of Wight and would like to have more of a say in helping shape Southern Health services during this next exciting chapter.
If so, a role as a Public Governor at Southern Health could be just the challenge they are looking for! Governors provide a vital link between the public and the Trust by helping communicate the ideas, feedback, and concerns of local people.
Adrian Thorne, Southern Health’s Lead Governor, added: “Governors play a key role in making sure our patients’ and carers’ voices are heard, and they are a critical friend to the Trust. To be most effective, we need individuals with all sorts of backgrounds, interests, and skills to join the Council of Governors and fully represent our communities across Hampshire.”
There is still time to take part, with nominations for the Governor elections closing Friday 12 July at 5pm. Apply today:
Most churches have very few children these days, so how about going to them instead? Teams of volunteers regularly present Bible stories during assembly in a third of our Island schools. An Ofsted Inspector recently told us that the children had told her they love Open the Book. It looks spectacular, but is really easy (miming to narration so no lines to learn) and tremendous fun. Schools are delighted to have us, and another in The Bay area has asked for Open the Book.
Just a quick update. The publisher Springmead has made the book - Lake of Tears - available on pre-order. The link for that is here:
If you intend to get more than one copy there will be offers when we have them back from the printers.
Also, I have agreed to do an interview with Simon Guillebaud from the Inspired Podcast. I will let you know when that is available but here is a link to their other postings plus a link to the Great Lakes Outreach which we are pleased to support.
That's all for now folks,
I will be in touch soon,
Blessings,

Of interest to Islanders supporting the heritage and culture
of the Isle of Wight
An opportunity for local people to become involved in a Project of the Isle of Wight Heritage & Field Studies Centre Ltd. to restore the Brew House and adjacent Cart Shed in the Grounds of Great Whitcombe Manor for heritage display and community activities. Supporting the work to get this Project up and running, through Planning, Design, Building and Completion, for which professionals are already involved, to benefit education and tourism on the Isle of Wight.
Volunteers would augment the work of preparing the site and its historic show pieces for public awareness and to augment the school curriculum teaching relating to the life and works of Samuel Pepys.
Great Whitcombe Manor, near Carisbrooke, is the centre of the Isle of Wight, recorded in Domesday Book, but discovery by a local Victorian archaeologist, Fred Morey, uncovered Bronze Age and Neolithic Tools in the woodland of Whitcombe Hangar, indicating an early Settlement, safe from the Marauders on the Coast.
It was in the Hangar that the ponies for King Charles I escape from imprisonment in Carisbrooke Castle were hidden, to carry him to the Coast and his wife Henrietta Maria. The owner of the Manor, Edward Worsley, plotted the King’s escape, sending messages in Farm produce. Sadly, the escape was not fulfilled. However, a young student at St. Paul’s School, Samuel Pepys, played truant and walked to Whitehall to witness the King’ execution, as recorded in his Diary. It is the contents of the Samuel Pepys Museum, currently in store, donated by the Corporation of the City of London, that will be displayed as a Tableau in the Brew House, showing Sam, with his wife, Elizabeth, seated at the oak table, with his music and excerpts of his Diary playing.
Also to be displayed is a Romantics Corner, with the live face mask of John Keats, who lived in Castle Road, Carisbrooke, for his health in 1818 and 1819 and knew the Manor.
A Collection of State Banquet Menus, Guest Lists and Table Plans, together with the Manor Deeds and Property transaction parchments will also be available to explore. Guided Walks will be arranged. Refreshments available in the Cart Shed, together with a Book Store and space for Talks and Community activities
If you enjoy research, cataloguing and have your own ideas for participating as a Volunteer in a unique and rare vision of our heritage, please contact me on annpembroke@outlook.com, to participate, and enjoy at leisure.
Yours in Christ Jesus.
