Join in creating a prayer labyrinth
We are creating a prayer labyrinth at Clowne church again this year and you can join in the fun of creating it. Last year we created this labyrinth in Clowne churchyard and, during Lent, many people came into the church grounds to walk the labyrinth. Our labyrinth had one path to the centre (unlike a maze you can’t get lost). People are invited to walk the path to the middle and use the experience as a chance to connect with…
Lent Course inspired by Call the Midwife

Try bell ringing in Barlborough!
Ever wanted to try Bell Ringing? Our team at Barlborough are always looking for new members. There is no age limit; 8-80yrs is common; still ringing at age 90 is not unusual. It is not hard work nor does it require exceptional strength. All that is required is enthusiasm and commitment. Practice night at Barlborough is Monday at 7-8pm. Feel free to call our Tower Captain, Jenny Mosley on 01246 810066 for more information.

The PCC is also responsible for the fabric of the Grade II…
