Hello from the Rector
Dear friends,
I hope you’re enjoying the relative quietness of August. I liked these words from American Christian writer Kate Bowler about this month:

This Sunday we are at Clowne for morning prayer at 8.30am and Barlborough for our Sung Eucharist at 10am.
See you soon.
Every blessing,
Canon Bryony
Confirmation course and service
We are now going to join with the deanery for our confirmation service this autumn instead of this summer – it wasn’t possible to align diaries for August. The confirmation service will take place at St John’s Newbold on Sunday 22nd November at 6pm. A confirmation course will take place at Clowne church in the autumn for anyone interested in being confirmed or in taking a basic Christianity course. Please speak to Rev Bryony for more information.

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/
