Kerith Isle of Wight Blog
Isle of Wight Leadership Team
An exciting update on the Isle of Wight Leadership Team has been shared, marking a new season for the church. After years of unique challenges, the site now has a more formalized leadership team to help guide its mission. This team includes Paula & Rich Mosdell, Chris & Char Reddecliff, Ben Britton, Char Wells, and Andy Smith (a recent addition). The leadership team will meet regularly to discuss growth, vision, and alignment with the church's mission, supported by other key leaders across the church. This new structure aims to ensure collaborative decision-making, accountability, and encouragement for the site's pastor.
New Shoes
Well, we are coming towards the end of September, and we have now had 2 Sundays in the new venue. They have been such encouraging times, as we launched on the 15th, with a number of new and visiting people, it was great to celebrate being there and welcoming Jesus into that space!
Week of Prayer & Fasting 29th Jan - 2nd Feb
Next week is our week of Prayer and Fasting - Monday 29th - Friday 2nd February, where we encourage the whole church to dive deeper into prayer, and have a go at, or take the next step in the spiritual practice of fasting.
