Some bread given to church group (5)
I believe the answer is:
bunch
'group' is the definition.
(bunch is a kind of group)
'some bread given to church' is the wordplay.
'some bread' becomes 'bun' (bun is a kind of bread).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation**).
'bun'+'ch'='BUNCH'
(Other definitions for bunch that I've seen before include "Group of people (informal)" , "Small number of flowers tied together" , "A cluster, group" , "Gang" , "Cluster (of grapes)" .)
