IWelcome to St Chad's Church, Pattingham... 
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!)

Thank you to all the knitters, who each year turn up with lovely clothes for all ages and sizes.
Another consignment of hand knitted clothes is on its way to Poland knitted by a group of clever knitters from around the village. We have sent knitting to Poland for the last 30 years, via Mr Adam and Lady Barbara Kwiatkowski.

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.
