Hello from the Rector

Dear friends,

For our Summer Fair at Clowne this year on 27th June, as well as our usual stalls and history exhibition we are hosting an outdoor music festival to showcase local young talent and have the brilliant young band, The Zebedees as our headline act! Listen to one of their songs here. Please invite friends and if you can take some posters to help us advertise it that would be helpful (these will be available at church).

Please be bringing raffle prizes to both churches and tombola prizes to Clowne for our upcoming Summer Fair and Music Festival (27th June Clowne) and Flower and Brick Festival (11th-12th July Barlborough).

We have a google calendar for all our events at church which is regularly updated, if you would like to add it to the calendar in your phone or on your computer, click here and then click ‘add’ and all our services and events will appear in your calendar.

For our next small group course we will be exploring pilgrimage by looking at the lives of the Anglo Saxon Saints and how we are pilgrims today. You can purchase the book Pilgrim People, Holy Lives for £3.50 from church. Other resources are available online: https://www.churchofengland.org/faith-life/pilgrim-places-holy-lives. This will be a five-week course running fortnightly over the Summer starting June 30^th at 7.30pm in St John the Baptist, Clowne church:

30th June Week 1: Pilgrimage of the Soul
14th July Week 2: Pilgrimage as Encounter
28th July Week 3: Pilgrimage as Discipleship
11th August Week 4: Pilgrimage as Mission
25th August Week 5: Living as a Pilgrim

Even if you don’t attend the course you may still wish to purchase the book to use in your own personal devotions, I’ll be selling copies at church for £3.50.

See you at Clowne for our 10am Eucharist this week and at Barlborough for Morning Prayer at 8.30am and Choral Evensong at 5pm.

Every blessing,

Canon Bryony
