We’re so excited to be welcoming the Bishop to Confirm several of our St Chads family members! But before that we have several Baptisms as well - what a blessing!

After the service please stay on and join our newly Confirmed folk for a BRING AND SHARE lunch. If you are able to provide some FINGER FOOD for the buffet please let Chris or Dawn know so they can coordinate.        

We look forward to welcoming you!

A Word From……..

The Vicar, Rev Dave Brae:

Dear St Chads Community,

As we begin a new era with our news sheet, I want to thank you for your patience and hard work. While there has been significant change recently, we continue to see God blessing our community.
Over the next month, we look forward to several baptisms and confirmations as we begin our preparations for Easter. In the build-up to Easter, I encourage you to reflect upon Matthew 28.
The Resurrection is an event that has shaped the history of humanity and creation. As we journey toward Easter, I invite you to consider this incredible event and what it means for your life.
The Resurrection calls us to pause and reflect. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, it should impact our lives: it is not only God’s plan for our rescue but His plan for how we live. The Resurrection should prompt us to consider where we need God’s restoration and lead us into a daily life of worship.

As we journey together, may the power of the Resurrection be at work within us, so that Christ will be glorified in and through us.

Blessings

David Brae

ALPHA COURSE

 Alpha Course started on Thursday January 8^th 2026.

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.

Our Alpha Course is preparing for a Holy Spirit Day! Come and join us for a time of prayer and fellowship as we learn and invite the Holy Spirit into us at St Chads. Thursday 5th March from 11am in the main 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.

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.
