Worshipping God and serving the community

You are warmly invited to join us.
We invite you to pray with us at all times.
If you are house bound, there are some sermons online.

The church building is open for prayer, pilgrimage and visits from 8am – 4pm every day of the week.
Anyone seeking a peaceful place is welcome to come in and rest awhile. 

Reverend Sam is currently unwell and is away on sick leave. Sam would like to express his thanks to you all for your love, support, and understanding while he has been away. He is comfortable to let you to know that he had been suffering from symptoms of exhaustion, and was diagnosed with burnout and work-related stress by his GP at the end of July. He will be away for a while longer while he recovers and receives support in the form of counselling and therapy. Please address any queries to Sue Kelly/ Rachel Davies (Churchwardens, St Chad’s) or John Clark/Jane Thompson (Churchwardens, St Alkmund’s) either personally or via [email protected] or Tel: 01743 365 478.
