Activities 

PRAYER WEEK

Prayer Week this year will be from Tuesday 26th August to Friday 29 August from 7:00pm to 7:30pm. There will be prayers in the church and also out and around the area. There's a sign-up sheet in the main entrance for anyone who wishes to take part. 

Small Group Essentials

Following on from the information for Rev Dave around the "Small Group Essentials" Course please see below an information flyer. You can sign up using the QR code on the flyer or, if you'd rather, just let us know in the office if you plan to attend and we can advise Rev Chris Dobson directly. 

The course looks to be very worthwhile for us as a church, and we would encourage as many folk from St Chads to attend as possible. 

God bless
