 Maureen's Musings...
Well, after my rather doom-laden scribbling of last month I am
delighted to be able to share with you that we seem to have had
an answer to prayer in the form of not one but TWO new people
to take over the tasks that Elaine Coleman and Margaret Lingford
have so ably carried out for so long! A huge big THANKYOU and
welcome to Mike Moss and Lesley Jones. I am looking forward to
working with you both - and the future of this magazine seems
assured for a while yet - Phew! And we are of course grateful
for the superb job that Elaine and Margaret have done for the
last few years - (I won't embarrass them by revealing exactly
how many!) more >>

Thank
you to all the knitters, who each year turn up with lovely clothes
for all ages and sizes.

Poland knitted by a group of clever knitters from around the

here was taken from a photograph of a local football team. Click

of the complete team. If you can you help in identifying any
of the players, email details to photos@sensorland.com. |

St Chad's...
We are
an expanding congregation and a lively bunch of people. You will
find in our new website activities for children and various regular
services. There is a welcome here for you along with our regular
congregation.
Most of our services are well attended and we use a mixture from
both Common Worship and The Book of Common Prayer. In some ways,
we are a Traditional village Church and cater for our local population.
This means we are used regularly for Marriages and Funerals.
The church is open for visitors and for Private Prayer. |

News from Kenya...
 We have received
a new photograph, more information and another reply from Austine,
our sponsored child in Kenya.
In 2005, St Chads P.C.C. agreed to embark upon on a ten year
project to sponsor a six year old child called Ostine.
The sponsorship money is being used to provide basic essentials
such as clean water, adequate food, healthcare, farming tools
as well as educating Ostine through his school years.
