 PATCHWAY COMMUNITY LARDER AT CALLICROFT HOUSE

The Community Larder is intended to support people in need of a small number of items to help them through the next day or two. 

The community larder is grant funded through South Gloucestershire Council Community Food Fund, and from generous local donations.

The larder is available during Council office opening hours.

ALPHA COURSE

We have an Alpha Course starting on Thursday January 8^th 2026 at 12.15pm.

ALPHA is a great introduction to the Christian faith, as well as a chance to ‘go deeper’ if you are relatively new to following Jesus. 

Each session will take place in the Church Hall and a FREE lunch will be provided.

Please contact  Paul Harrod via the office for details or, if attending St Chad's register on the sign-up sheet in the church.

CHAD’S CRAFTERS

Chad’s Crafters is held on Wednesday evenings from 7-9pm.

Bring your crafts – crochet, knitting, drawing, painting etc., refreshments are provided.

Come along and have an fun crafting evening with like minded people!

FOODBANK

Sadly, many families in our local community are struggling to afford the basics.  From April 2024 to March 2025, Foodbank provided 6,862 food parcels supporting 15, 228 people, including 5,539 children. This growing need mirrors the national picture:  Trussell Trust foodbanks supported just 26, 000 people in 2008-2009, but 2.9m last year. Churches are vital partners in the operation so please continue with much needed donations.

CHRISTMAS CARDS

We are again promoting Mother’s Union Christmas cards this year.  There are order forms in the main entrance.  Please take the time to look at the cards and support Mother’s Union if you wish to order on the sheet provided.  (Payment when cards received).

THURSDAY FLOURISH YOUTH GROUP HELP NEEDED

We are always looking for volunteers to support our children and youth work.  All enquiries to jess@stchadspatchway.info 

ST CHAD’S PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY

Liz would be grateful to make copies of any old photos that you may have of events in the church.  Weddings, Baptisms etc.  Liz would like to do a display at some point in the future for the community to add to.  Please contact Liz in the office if you have any photos for copying.

MUSTARD SEED CAFÉ

The Community Café is open from 09.30am to 12.00pm on Thursdays, and is for anyone from the community or church who wish to attend. Refreshments are free! It is a warm place to meet new friends or catch up with old ones. There are many helpful groups attending including one to help with phones and computers, Citizens Advice and another, on an ad-hoc basis, helping people find work.

 Rev. David Brae  Priest-In-Charge. David is joined by his wife Emma and children James and Hannah.
