9am – A traditional Book of Common Prayer Service, which is quiet and reflective, with traditional hymns, and an anthem led by our choir. This service lasts about an hour, and includes a short sermon. There is no children’s work provided at this service.

At the end of the service there is an opportunity to mix and mingle with those arriving for the 10.45 service, with coffee / tea etc., and the opportunity for prayer ministry.

10.45am – We have a lively contemporary service, which is family orientated, relaxed, and modern in feel. Music is led by our Worship Team. Our talks make use of modern A/V technology, and children/young people are well catered for by our committed and fun-loving kid’s teams. We worship together for the first 25 mins before children and young people leave to attend their own groups.

3rd & 5th Sundays: Holy Communion.

All Age – On the 1st Sunday of the month, our 10.45 Service is "All Age Worship" – meaning loud, fun and fully inclusive.

The 10.45am service is also live-streamed on Facebook, and you can get a taste of these services here: https://www.stchads.church/services

Sparkles is for babies up to 15 months, their parents, grandparents, and carers. Expectant parents are very welcome!

You’ll find a warm welcome and a chance to meet other families. We’ll have time for a song, lots of quality age-appropriate toys and books, which are safe and clean, and a clean, soft floor space to explore safely.

​We want every new baby to have the opportunity to be themselves and shine. They can only do this if the special people around them also have a “hug” from time to time. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, infusions, squash and tempting treats are available.

​We have a large car park, changing facilities; you can bring your buggy; and you are welcome to feed your baby.

For more information, contact Carol and Anne for details, message us on Facebook - Sparkles at St Chad's Church (@SparklesStC) - or email [email protected]

The course is open to anybody exploring their faith, regardless of age. A big part of Alpha is sharing a meal, and we will be asking for volunteers to prepare food for each meeting. If this is something you would like to help with, please speak to Pauline.

Alpha Holy Spirit Day: A Space to Pause, Connect, and Encounter God

The Alpha Day offers a gentle break from the busyness of everyday life, creating an unhurried space for people to connect with one another and with God. Through talks on the Holy Spirit, time for prayer and waiting on God, and moments to relax and have fun, guests are given the atmosphere they need to reflect on what they’re learning. It’s a day designed to bless and encourage both guests and leaders as they explore faith more deeply.
