S Chad Church Prayer Chain
As you may know S Chad has a prayer chain for sharing urgent prayer requests. 
Currently the chain has 18 people. 
We are making some minor changes, including first contacts who will now be: 
Margaret Hallet 287 8870; Jean Joynt 01457 833565 or Lynne Radcliffe 652 1797. 
By contacting one of them you will be ensuring your prayer request is passed along the chain. 
Also, if you would like to join the chain to pray for others, please speak to us and we will be pleased to include you in the list. 
This is a quiet ministry and we do see God answer our prayers.

Prayer Room
 The current theme for prayer is Church, Community, Country and World. 
Please visit when you can and add your prayers, especially during this time of change in so many areas.
