‘Churchwardens’ Chat’
We are now in an interregnum following the retirement of the Vicar and so the monthly letter for the Parish News is written by the Churchwardens
April 2025
What a wonderful afternoon we enjoyed on Saturday, March 15 at the Pattingham Past and Present presentation.
More than 100 people attended, and we are grateful to organisers Tracy Williams and her family, Graham Tritten, Mike Coope and all who helped with the delicious cakes.
The musical interlude was superb and thanks are due to Martin and Gath Fox and John Fellows.
Look for details of our further Dementia Friendly events later in the year.
We are delighted with the winning entry in our church Easter Card competition, painted by Gath Fox. The judges were impressed with the high quality of the entries and Mike Coope did a brilliant job, formatting the card. We thank all who entered and of course the judges for their work.
We invite children and families to our Build the Easter Garden: meet outside church at 10 am on Good Friday, April 18.
Do you know anyone who is good at finding hidden Easter Eggs? If so, make sure you all join us in our Easter Egg Hunt, outside church on Good Friday straight after building the Easter Garden. Everyone taking part will have eggs to take away!
Other dates for your diary include our July Summer Fete on Saturday July 5, for which entry forms for the various competitions are included in our Easter card.
Then, a super date for the diary: on Saturday, July 12, there will be a concert in church with the Much Wenlock Male Voice Choir. This is a rare opportunity to experience the glorious voices of a male voice choir and ticket details will be available next month.
And in September, over the weekend of 26-28, there is our Scarecrow Festival. On the Saturday evening, September 27, there will be a concert in church by the Staffordshire Brass Band. Ticket details will be published in the magazine and on Chadnet.
God Bless, if you are feeling lonely or just want a chat, after every Sunday and Wednesday morning service we serve tea and coffee, a great time for a ‘natter’. And If you or someone you know wishes to receive Home Holy Communion, do please get in touch.
