This email in being sent out on the Feast of St Stephen. He was the first Christian Martyr and according to the Acts of the Apostles a deacon in the early church at Jerusalem. He was condemned by the Jewish Council in Jerusalem for committing blasphemy against the Jewish Temple and stoned to death around the year AD36 for accusing them of murdering Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The non Christian day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. There are a few theories which include:-
 – The name is a reference to holiday gifts. A \u201cChristmas box\u201d is another name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off  for servants, when they received a gift from their employer. The servant would then go home to give gifts to their families.
 – Reference to Charity giving. A box to collect money for the poor, placed in churches on Christmas Day and opened next day and its contents given to the poor.
Well that’s enough of the history.

I would like to bring you up to date with the events St Chad’s made available to you all.
The Carol Service on the playing field saw over 100 adults and children. Thank you all for coming and your singing echoed around the field. The collection after the service for the Children’s Society raised \u00a375.15, this will soon be making its way to the charity.
The Nine Lessons and Carols Service was on the web on the Sunday evening for you to watch and we also had a screening in church on the Monday evening with lighted candles, Christmas tree lights and the lit Christmas Crib.
On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services of said communion took place. This year we asked our congregation to book a place to enable us to social distance where necessary. A total of 44 people attended the two services.

I hope you have noticed that this year we have two stars on the Church Tower shining over Pattingham; hopefully next year we will have one on each side.

I would like to thank the Flower Club for decorating the Church so beautifully. We haven’t seen the church look so nice since last Christmas.
With the help of volunteer stewards we were able to open the Church for private prayer in the summer for 2 days a week. My thanks go to them, particularly when autumn came and it became cold. You will now find the Church is open most days (without stewards) if you wish to come in for few moments of quiet prayer.

A lot of people have given their time and effort to make Church Life a possibility. We have learned new initiative ways to provide Sunday services to the community. Thank you all, I know it is appreciated.

On behalf of myself, my fellow church warden Clive, Maureen and the PCC I wish you all a happy and maybe a different New Year.
