Welcome to @Chat

November and December 2024

This edition of Ch@t celebrates environmental achievements throughout the Benefice, with huge congratulations to St Arilda’s Church in Oldbury receiving an Eco Church Gold Award.

As Remembrance season begins, the newsletter reflects on local accomplishments and upcoming goals, including new building projects to support sustainable practices.

Highlights include successful events like the Harvest season services, Hopscotch Playgroup, and the Barn dance. Reviews and updates about initiatives for youth and community support, such as the work by PHASE and Christians Against Poverty. The Benefice’s charitable efforts, including the Julian Trust Nightshelter appeal and contributions to The Children’s Society, are featured, alongside parish activities that bring together all ages in worship and environmental stewardship.
