Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
A few notices to share with you this week:
Welcoming Fr Iain Faulkner
Fr Iain is an experienced priest who currently works full time as a nurse in the NHS. He is looking to become an incumbent full-time priest and so is going to spend this term (up to Christmas) with us on placement to learn about being an incumbent from us. He brings a wealth of experience and I’m looking forward to having him take part in our worship and learn more about our benefice. Please give him a warm welcome!
Finding Faith Course
Our ‘Finding Faith’ course starts this week. This is a 6 week course for anyone wanting a refresher (or, indeed, an introduction) to the basics of the Christian faith. There will be a confirmation service on 8th November at Derby Cathedral at which anyone interested can be confirmed. You are free to attend as many sessions as you like, you can pick and mix if there is a particular topic you’d like to attend, although we recommend that those considering confirmation attend the whole course. These are the dates, all sessions will be at St John the Baptist, Clowne at 7.30pm:
Tue 16 Sept – Identity
Tue 30 Sept – The Bible
Tue 14 Oct – Holy Communion
Tue 28 Oct – Sin & Forgiveness
