Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
Huge thanks to Pat and Lois and the team who put on the fantastic quiz night on Tuesday – made all the better for me and Paul as our team won! We raised more than £500 for church funds and hope to run more such events next year. Thanks to all who supported this.
I am sad to report that our wonderful organist emeritus at Clowne, Arthur Stamper, sadly died last week. His funeral will take place on Friday 27th November at 12noon at St John the Baptist Clowne where we will give him the best Clowne send off we can. A lovely man who will be sorely missed. Please keep his family in your prayers.
Confirmation Service
Olivia Rose and Andrew Wilson will be confirmed along with some others at a special service at St John’s Newbold on Sunday 22nd November at 6pm. There will be no Refresh service so that we can attend the service at Newbold and support our two candidates. All are welcome to attend. If you would like to share cars, please sign up on the sheet at church.
See you soon,
Canon Bryony x

Please consider joining the Parish Giving Scheme to give regularly if you do not already do so.
It costs money to run our churches, to pay for our clergy and keep the lights on, most of our income comes from your generosity!
Joining the Parish Giving Scheme
A regular gift really helps our cash flow, prevents the need for us to count cash and go to the bank and the scheme automatically claims Gift Aid. Once you set it up you can relax and not worry about bringing cash to church.
How to give
Set up a regular gift to the parish by calling the dedicated telephone line: 0333 002 1271. Tell them the parish code:
- St John the Baptist, Clowne: 120612060
- St James the Greater, Barlborough: 120612054
You can also set everything up online yourself by visiting: https://www.parishgiving.org.uk/
