taking the church to the community;
and growing the church.

Join us in St Chad’s Church to celebrate Harvest on Sunday 27th September.
At 10 am there will be an All Age Communion Service. This is great for kids, everyone is welcome, something for everyone. Feel free to stay for tea, coffee, biscuits and chat after the service.
At 6.30 pm there will be a more traditional Communion service.
Those attending either service are encouraged to bring harvest gifts which will be presented for blessing during the service and will then be donated to The Well foodbank.
The 10 am service on Sunday 4th October is being led by Henry Ibberson and Alan Smith. It will be a thanksgiving service for all our pets. There will not be a Communion service.
