The Churches in Ryde do lots of things together. Recently we held a United Service at the Medina theatre. We call ourselves Churches Together in the Ryde Area - CTRA. God has blessed Ryde Baptist with a lovely building so lots of the CTRA activities take place in the George Street Centre. These include the Men's Big Breakfast, the annual Children's Holiday Club and weekly Girls' Brigade. CTRA funds a youth worker, Becca Overy, who runs Rock Solid and Connect2 in the George Street Centre, as well as organising school assemblies. Street Pastors also use our building as their base, with people praying for them whilst they are out on Friday nights.
On the last Sunday of each month there is a united evening service which moves from one church building to another. The venue is shown on the diary. CTRA also supports Cafe Church which is held on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Church on the Roundabout, Newport. Following the success of the Christmas outdoor event, there will be another at Easter in the Town Square. Social event are organised, such as the Safari Supper (diners move from one church to another for each course ) and Interchurch Quiz - details to follow. For more information on what the churches are doing together see the Wight Churches Network.
The CTRA enabling committee is formed from ministers and representatives of all the churches in Ryde and new initiatives and ideas are discussed and implemented.
