New Year's Eve Watchnight Service

Occuring
Sunday 31 December 2023 Sunday at for 29 mins
Venue
St Faith's Church, Havant
Address
West Street Havant, PO9 1EH, United Kingdom

As an alternative to New Year's parties, we gather at 11.30pm while our Bellringers are ringing out the old year, above us. We give thanks for the year gone, asking forgiveness for the times that we human beings have fallen short. Then in the context of Holy Communion, we welcome the new year with prayers for the future, and a celebratory glass of bubbly.

Annual Event

St Faith's Church, Havant

Welcome to our entry on A Church Near You.  A much fuller picture of life in our parish can be found at www.stfaith.com.  We are a traditional parish church, in the heart of the town of Havant.  We are inclusive and welcoming to all; our preached theology is generally liberal.  Though mainly an adult congregation, we have strong links with local schools and with local young people through other charities we support locally.  We also provide 'The Pallant Centre' - a community hub for the whole community, and St Faith's Charity Shop where we 'reduce, reuse and recycle'.

St. Faith's is fully committed to the Church of England's Safeguarding policies, as enacted by the Diocese of Portsmouth.  Any safeguarding concerns about either children or vulnerable adults should be brought to the immediate attention of the Rector, Canon Tom Kennar, or our Safeguarding Officer, Mrs. Pauline West.

Safeguarding

Our parish of Havant: St Faith is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Portsmouth’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO (Pauline West via the Parish Office) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Team, via the Dioces of Portmsouth website. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
