Activities 

 MEMORIUM BAUBLES

On the 7^th of December we will be holding our annual Memorial Service at 6.30pm, we would like to decorate a Christmas tree with named baubles.  A bauble will be decorated with the name of the person you would like to be remembered at this service.  Envelopes will be available, and we ask that you write the name of the person on these and then pop in a donation, (we are suggesting a minimum of £2), then post them into the box provided and your bauble will be made.  Envelopes should be in by 30^th November.

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
