 Maureen's Musings...
The spring weather this year has really kept us on our toes.
Beautiful warm and sunny weather in March (unless you are a gardener
or farmer, desperately wanting rain for the new seeds and crops)
followed by cold and even snow at the beginning of April.....
who knows what May will have in store?
May does however bring round once again the festival of Rogation
- this year on 13 May, when we will once more be praying for
God's blessing on our work to come and asking that in due time
we are granted a good harvest. >>read more >> Talking about

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.
