Cuppa and chat with the Bishop The Bishop of Derby, Rt. Rev. Libby Lane, is coming to visit our area soon to get a feel for how we’re coping with things at this stage in the pandemic and to discuss the vision and future direction of the diocese. Bishop Libby would like to speak with a small group of people (no more than 12) from our churches north of Chesterfield, on Monday, 1st November at 10.30am for an hour or so at St. Swithin’s, Holmesfield. Refreshments will be provided. This conversation time is really for the “people in the pews” rather than ministers or synod members (but PCC members and wardens would be welcome). If you would like to be part of this please get in touch with Ian no later than Tuesday, 19th October. Rev. Ian Webb, Vicar of St. Swithin’s & St. Philip’s in the Dronfield with Holmesfield Team, E: ian.webb@dwhparish.org.uk.

Praise Choir Rob our Director of Music is starting a CTDD Praise Choir who will sing some hymns, gospel pieces and worship songs with a focus on the “heart” of singing to support good and uplifting “worship”. If you are interested drop Rob an email, text  or WhatsApp.

As soon as he has built up a list of who would like to be involved he will be back in touch to arrange a couple of rehearsals prior to Sunday 21^st November. They will likely be on Thursday evenings.

Rob hopes to hear back form lots of people soon! Robert.aldread@btinternet.com www.dronfieldchurchmusic.com
