A newsletter, a news story, and a new Bishop are all linked by one worship song - find out which one - and hear the stories that join them all together - in this week's programme.

Plus there's a Harvest thought from priest and poet Rev Dr Malcolm Guite - inspired by a recent walking holiday in Dorset and music from Katherine Jenkins

And we finish with another packed notice board - Harvest services and celebrations - and much more!

In this programme we return to Mountain View Innovation Centre, Ramsey - the home of The Postcode People - AFD Software - to take part in a live link with an aircraft factory in the United States, to take a first look at the new Cessna light aircraft that AFD Software have bought and donated to Mission Aviation Fellowship - the world's largest humanitarian air operator. AFD Software Director David Dorricott shares some thoughts on getting a first look at the Cessna - destined for work in Papua New Guinea, and explains what happens next ....

We once again dip into the Keystones series presented by Rev'd David Bush, exploring the Island's churches and their history, in conversation with the clergy and parishioners of the time. The series was recorded and broadcast over 40 years ago - this week we're at the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea and St Maughold on Queen's Promenade in Ramsey where David chats with the then Parish Priest, Father Jim Lynch, and parishioner Mrs Kitty Richmond.

This week's music includes a traditional harvest hymn, and familiar words to a different tune - from Graham Kendrick and Martin Smith - and the Notice Board is packed with harvest celebration information for next weekend - 5th and 6th October - and other things too!

Rt Rev'd Mark Davies is the Bishop of MIddleton in Manchester - he's also the Commissary Bishop appointed to take care of the Diocese of Sodor and Man until Bishop-Elect Tricia Hillas takes up her ministry on the Island in mid-November.

In his capacity as Bishop of Sodor and Man, Bishop Mark was on the Island recently to ordain Rev'd Ian Quayle as Deacon, Rev'd Joanna Fisher as priest, and to confirm some members of Kirk Maughold.

On today's programme, Bishop Mark talks about the significance of this busy weekend and we also hear from Rev'd Matt Allen, lecturer at Emmanuel College where Rev'd Ian and Rev'd Joanna have been studying, who preached the sermon at Rev'd Joanna's ordination.

And there's music - and a packed notice board too!

Almost 40 years ago, former Vicar of Marown, Rev'd David Bush, made a series of programmes - Keystones - in which he explored the history of our Manx churches. Kerrowkeill Chapel is no longer a place of worship but its history will never be forgotten. In a vintage episode of Keystones, we meet again the characters and hear their stories - and there's music too!

Husband and wife Methodist Ministers Rev'd Sylvester and Rev'd Rachel Deigh are mission partners serving the Methodist Church in Sierra Leone. For the last 13 years the Methodist Church there has been twinned with the Methodist Church on the Isle of Man. On today's programme Rachel and Sylvester talk about life, faith and their 'great adventure' - plus music, and another notice board packed with news of local events and services

Rev Dr Michael Brydon explores the links between the railways and the church, using a fascinating collection of serious and not-so-serious stories - and with a selection of music to match! Plus - another packed notice board.

Mission Aviation Fellowship is an international charity using specially-adapted aircraft to bring all kinds of aid to otherwise inaccesible places. In this programme, Dom Sant and his 11 year old son Isaac talk about MAF's work in Papua New Guinea, where they live - and local businessman David Dorricott explains why he's donating a brand new plane to MAF. Fantastic faith in action here!

Retired Methodist Minister Rev'd Paul Davis and his wife Elizabeth have just spent over two months on the Island, as Paul assisted the local Methodist churches whilst our own Chair of District, Rev'd Dr Janet Corlett, was on sabbatical.

On the programme today, we discover why the Island is a home-from-home for this Lancashire couple, and learn more about their life, and Paul's ministry - including his work on BBC Radio Lancashire. They also choose the music, and Paul leaves us with a final challenging thought - about what HE considers is the one thing that REALLY matters .....

And there's music chosen by Paul and Elizabeth, plus our usual notice board.
