At The Parish of Wyke Regis, we are proud to be part of the Inclusive Church network. But what does that really mean?Being an Inclusive Church means that everyone is welcome, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, neurodiversity, mental health, sexuality, background, or any other factor that might cause exclusion.We believe that the love of Christ is for all people, without exception.A place where you belong, just as you are.A community where differences are celebrated as part of God’s wonderful creation.A parish where we seek to listen, learn, and love, following the example of Jesus.We know that churches have not always been places of welcome for everyone, and we want to say clearly: Here, you are loved. Here, you are included. Here, you are home.
Despite the overcast skies, our trip aboard MV Freedom around Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay was full of warmth and good cheer. The views were still beautiful, the sea air refreshing, and the company even better.The crew was terrific and shared stories about the area. We laughed and had a real sense of togetherness as we cruised the coastline. Huge thanks to the MV Freedom crew for their hospitality and care, and to everyone who joined us for making it such a memorable outing.A little grey weather couldn’t dampen our spirits; we’re already looking forward to next time!
A Glorious Harvest CelebrationWhat a joy it was to see our churches adorned with such stunning harvest displays this year! From vibrant autumn colours to baskets overflowing with produce, every corner reflected care, creativity, and gratitude.A heartfelt thank you to everyone who gave so generously, whether through gifts of food, flowers, or time, and to those who worked so hard behind the scenes to create these beautiful arrangements. Your efforts transformed our churches into a living celebration of God’s goodness and provision.The atmosphere was one of thankfulness and community, reminding us of the blessings we share and the joy of coming together. Thank you for making this year’s harvest so special.
