Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
Tomorrow our very own Octavia is getting married to Richard at St James’- we are so excited to celebrate with them!
This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday and we have morning prayer at Clowne at 8.30am, 10am Sung Eucharist at Barlborough and at 5pm we have our lovely relaxed service, Refresh, at Clowne – why not give it a try if you’ve not been before?
Also…
We are delighted to be hosting a production of ‘I think he died of a Tuesday’ at Clowne Parish Church on Saturday 2nd May at 7pm.
Tickets available to buy at church £12 or £10 concessions – includes a drink on arrival (wine or juice). If you’re not at church do contact me on 07960 735352 to book your tickets and you can pay on the night.
“A tale of a father, a son, a death…and an orange thong!”
Following the death of Michael, his son (Mark) and grandson (Sam) navigate life without him. As events spiral out of control, the effect on Mark ( and his mental health) leads to niggles from the past resurfacing leaving Mark and Sam’s relationship in tatters.
I Think He Died Of A Tuesday is a poignant play about bereavement and the relationship between fathers and sons (with parallels for mothers and daughters). Although the subject matter involves death, the play is packed full of humour from the start.
The play contains some strong language.
There will be a 15 minute interval.
Hope you can come and do bring a friend! If anyone has a raffle prize to donate, please let me know as we will be doing a small raffle on the night.
Every blessing,
Canon Bryony

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!
