We extend a warm welcome to all who will be visiting Guernsey for the NatWest International Island Games 2023.

We are distributing a leaflet listing a selection of the churches and their Sunday services to all the hotels and other accommodation where competitors and officials will be staying.

The Town Church, near the Albert Pier in St Peter Port, will be the focus for the spiritual support which the churches will be offering to our visitors. A team of volunteers will be in the church during Saturday 8 July to greet visitors and offer support. The church will be open throughout the Games week, offering a space for people to sit quietly, say a prayer, or light a candle.

We will also be able to introduce visitors to the other faith communities represented in Guernsey.
