The Bible Course is a relaxed, eight-session journey through the big story of the Bible. Together we'll explore the key moments and themes helping you see how it all fits together and what it means for us today.
Whether you're brand new to the Bible or want a fresh overview, this is a great space to learn, ask questions, and grow in confidence as you read the Bible with others.
We will have refreshments, watch a video from The Bible Society and have space for conversations and questions.For More Information and Sign Up

I am pleased to be able to inform you that my new business, Island Photo Community Hub, that was suggested at the end of October 2025 is now a reality. After the closure of Island Photo Centre on 18th October I had to undergo some radiotherapy at QA Hospital Portsmouth throughout December.
January saw a concerted effort to get things started, and while that brought some unforeseen problems, we have been trading since beginning of March and able to offer all the services that we did at Island Photo Centre – plus a few more. It is very much as case of “all systems go!”
The international online passport/visa and ID photos system is updated and better than ever. Quality photo prints from cameras, phones, USB and online are available, as are photo gifts from Fujifilm UK. Photo scanning and digital conversion from all types of media and restoration services are still very much part of the business, as are the extensive photocopying service options in black and white and colour, A4 or A3 on standard paper or card. The video to DVD and USB transfer service is back – and better than ever, with the ability to now transfer more video formats, and for the first time offering Cine film to DVD/USB transfer too. I will still be offering the digital camera sensor cleaning service that is so important for interchangeable lens cameras too.
In a new venture, you can now commission Island Photo Hub to do photography for commercial, house sales, holiday lettings and portrait sessions too. Archival recording of collections, artworks and museum or heritage work can also be undertaken.
My new premises are in the Newport and Carisbrooke Community Council building at 64 High Street, just opposite the newly relocated Love Running shop and Correo Lounge. These shop units give me level access to the High Street and an opportunity to offer the photo services my customers wanted me to continue.
This website Link can be used to book passport photo appointments and sensor cleaning, as well as online photo printing in affiliation with Fujifilm UK. The Facebook page, Island Photo Community Hub, has proved popular too, and both of these have regular updates, offers and newsletter.
I would like to thank all those who have encouraged and helped me through what was a difficult time. I couldn’t have done it without your help.

Volunteer Chaplain – Isle of Wight We are looking for a volunteer chaplain to support officers and staff on the Isle of Wight.
The role is based mainly at Newport, with some presence at other stations as needed. The Island has been supported by a chaplain for the past six years, but he has recently stepped back, and we are now looking to find someone to take on this valued role.
The chaplain offers a confidential, non‑judgemental listening ear to officers, staff, and volunteers of all faiths and none. This is a relational, pastoral role, rooted in presence rather than problem‑solving.
And, just to say — if you happen to have a dog, that would be very welcome. The previous chaplain’s dog was much loved by staff.
Information morning planned on the 17th April at Newport police station and anyone interested in the role should get in touch and come along to that morning.
For more information or an informal conversation, please get in touch.

Could Your Church Help Change a Child’s Life?Adopt South is asking churches across the Isle of Wight to support local children who are waiting for loving, permanent families.
We are a regional adoption agency working with local authorities, and we rely on strong community partnerships to help spread the word about adoption. Many people who could offer a child a safe and loving home simply don’t know where to start.
How can your church help?
We are inviting churches to support us by:
Displaying an Adopt South leaflets, banner or small pop‑up at church entrances, halls, or community events
Helping us reach individuals and families who may be considering adoption, now or in the future by offering to host adoption information events (virtual or in person)
"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!"
