This event is part of an Open Week at St Chad's Church that will run from Friday 12 to Friday 19 September 2025.
The Open Week is part of a deliberate effort to get ready for the Centenary mission weekend in September 2026 and it will hopefully provide plenty of new opportunities for us to invite people to various events across the week in the hope that we can share something of the good news of Jesus with them.
If anyone wants to know more details they can contact the vicar martinkeighley@btconnect.com or David Gascoigne davidpgascoigne@gmail.com
All are welcome!
