Week of Prayer and Fasting January 2025
Kerith Church is inviting everyone to join in a special Week of Prayer and Fasting from January 26th to 31st, 2025. This week is designed for personal and collective encounters with God’s presence, as well as living out His love in communities. Through prayer, fasting, and intentional living, the church aims to seek God's justice and revival. Participants are encouraged to fast in various ways, such as skipping meals, fasting from social media or television, or refraining from alcohol. The week will also feature several gatherings for worship, prayer, and reflection.
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.
