The Parish of Chadwell Heath will be 140 years old in 2025! The Fundraising Team are already discussing events that we can put on in the church to celebrate both the much improved church and the 140th birthday of the Parish. One of the things we are considering is celebrating 140 years of The Proms—also 140 years old next year. Please let us know if you would like to be a part of this team, and we will let you know when the next meeting will be.
Design a new logo: We also would like to have a special church logo to use next year, which incorporates our motto ‘Christ Inside and Out’ and the fact that we are ‘140 years old’. Why not have a go at designing a logo that we can use for our fundraising events next year? The competition is open to everybody and the closing date is 6th December.
