 Maureen's Musings...
Alleluia!
Christ is Risen! - He is Risen indeed. Alleluia!
We begin this month with the ancient Easter greeting - as this
edition will come to you round about Easter Weekend. And since
I am writing this with a mini-blizzard whipping past the Vicarage,
I do hope that we get a lovely sunny Easter Weekend and a truly
spring-like April to enjoy.... it has seemed like a very long
winter this year - probably made more so by the wet weather of
last summer and autumn.

'Fish & Chip' Jumper and Hats
Newly
born babies of Africa, many suffering from Aids, are called 'Fish
& Chip' babies because they leave hospital wrapped in newspapers
for warmth.
To replace the newspapers, we asked for those of you who can
knit, to make small woollen jumpers and hats, all to be sent
out directly to parts of Kenya, Uganda and South Africa.
And did you knit !!!! At the closing date on 31st January 2013,
a staggering total of 306 garments have been made, comprising
148 jumpers and 158 hats.
A massive 'Thank You' from Kath Coope to all of you who
have given your time (and wool!).

Dangerous
Churchyard Tree is removed...
Following
the collapse of several large branches from a tree in the Churchyard,
it was decided, after consultation with tree surgeons, that the
whole tree should be removed. A new tree will be planted in replacement.
A quick count of the rings of the final stump, gave the tree's
age at approximately 250 years. more photos to follow >> |

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.
