Following Christ in the footsteps of St Chad,
by living out our faith;
taking the church to the community;
and growing the church.
We are the Church of England Parish of Pattingham with Patshull, which is in Staffordshire. St Chad’s Church is at the centre of the village of Pattingham and dates from the 12th century with Victorian additions. As the only church in the parish we welcome those of any denomination or none to our services.
Death of Her Majesty the Queen
It is with great sadness that we note the death of Her Majesty the Queen. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who will miss and mourn her.
Appropriate prayers were said at the services on Sunday 11th September and the church is open as usual for private prayer every day. There may be changes to other arrangements during the period of mourning. Further information will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
The church flag flew at half mast until after Her Majesty’s funeral. The tenor bell was tolled 96 times on the day after Her Majesty’s death and the bells were rung half muffled on Sunday 11th and Sunday 18th September.
There was a Book of Condolence in Church.
There was a Special Service of Thanksgiving at 10:00 am on Sunday 18th September with a visual Presentation instead of the usual Youth Service.
The Litter Picking Event which had been planned for 18th September has been postponed until 2nd October.
Prayers for Peace
We are all aware of the current situation in Ukraine. We are saying Prayers for Peace in church every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6 pm. On other days of the week the church will remain open until at least 6.30 pm and there will be a sheet of prayers left in the Lady Chapel for people to use if they wish.
