Donations: We would really appreciate any raffle prizes you can donate for our fundraising events all year round. Please also consider donating some Easter treats for the food bank.

 

Tickets for the Easter Raffle will be on sale again on Sunday 14th March for £1 each.  We have some lovely prizes already but if you still wish to donate an Easter egg or some sort of Easter gift, more people will be blessed with a prize. All money raised will be for church funds for the ministry and mission of St Chads.

It's all about meeting with the community and hopefully striking up some good conversations. Meet in the hall kitchen at 11am.
