The Parish of St Lawrence holds regular services throughout the month mainly in the larger Parish Church, on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays at 11am.
A small but enthusiastic congregation attend the services and all contribute to the various roles that are needed to maintain our two lovely buildings. Flower arranging, sides person, lesson reading, cleaning, cake making etc.
VISITORS
The Parish Church is open daily from 10am-4pm.
St Lawrence Parish church is renowned for its historic church windows and visited by numerous people during the year for this reason.
Throughout the week we receive many visitors who comment in our Visitors' book on how much they love the peace and tranquility. We provide light refreshments especially for hikers and walkers who use the coastal path.
LIBRARY
The parish church has recently started to rearrange the space provided and we have set up a new lending library and seating so people can sit and read a book or just take a rest. This free facility enables you to borrow books for as long as you need and all we ask is that you return them when read!
COFFEE MORNING
Throughout the year we run a monthly coffee morning (1st Wednesday 10.30-12) and a light lunch (3rd Wednesday 12-2) at St Lawrence Village Hall provided by a small group of church volunteers. This year we have raised money for local causes totalling £1,103 in 6 months.
So when was the last time you stepped inside our churches in the village? Do you know the story of our famous pre-Raphaelite windows and our link with the National Chest Hospital that stood on the site of the Botanic Gardens in Ventnor?
Maybe you could offer help to keep these historic resources running?
If you are new to the village it is a great way to meet people and get to know what is going on in your village.
