Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
I hope your Lent is going well. If you haven’t tried anything for Lent yet, it’s not too late! Some ideas:
– set an alarm to pray the Lord’s Prayer once a day
– Read a psalm each day
– Listen to the Pray as you Go service (12 mins): https://pray-as-you-go.org/
– Read through a gospel
– set aside money each week to donate to church or charity as a special gift at Easter
I pray that you will grow closer to God. Remember the verse in the letter of James: Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
I am on annual leave this week so Rev Adrian Murray-Leslie will be covering services. I will be back in time for Mothering Sunday on 30th March – please note that both churches are having a service: 9.15am at Clowne and 11am at Barlborough.
Please note that because I am away on Sunday 23rd March the service will not be livestreamed. Please watch the Church of England service instead: https://www.youtube.com/@TheChurchofEngland/videos
Every blessing,
Rev Bryony
