New Christmas event for St Chad’s Church in Pattingham…
For several years, St Chad’s Church has held in December, a successful Christmas Tree Festival, but this year change is afoot for there is to be the very first ‘Follow the Star’ event.
This will be a 3-day special community event over the weekend of 13th to 15th December 2024, where St Chad’s Church will be full of decorated and illuminated stars of all sizes and colours, all created by villagers and their supporters from Pattingham.
The church will be open to viewing visitors over the three days – Friday 13th 12.00 noon to 4.00 pm, Saturday 14th 10.00 am to 4.00 pm, Sunday 15th 12.00 noon to 3.00 pm, followed by the Christingle Service commencing at 4.00pm.
On the Friday evening at 7.30pm again in the church, there will be provoking presentation using the church’s AV system by local amateur astronomer, Doug Bickley. He will discuss with the help of slides, one of the most famous Christmas stories – the Star of Bethlehem. He will cover the historical evidence of when the Star may have been seen and the astronomical evidence of what it might have been – was it really a star? This is a question that both astronomers and theologians have asked every Christmas time. Will the answer be found? Why not come along and see? Tickets for this exciting event are £8 each, which includes mulled wine and mince pies, and are available from Jill parker on 01902 700755 or .
