Notices for Sunday January 24th 2021 - Third Sunday of Epiphany
Notices for Sunday January 24th 2021 Services online Given the rising case numbers, and the message to stay at home unless there is urgent need to go out, we have decided to stop having services in church that are open to visitors. We will continue having the 10am service for you to watch on the internet. Please remember, and perhaps be in contact with those who can’t access them. You can watch the videos for all the churches when they “premier” , or later for your convenience by clicking on this link:https://www.youtube.com/c/DwHParish Non-Internet Service Paul Mellars has also produced a church at home leaflet, with a basic service to follow, especially for those who don’t have the internet, but is also appreciated by many. It hopefully will come with the notices each week. Daily Prayers on line have now resumed.

From Rob Aldread – sent to all the churches: Notwithstanding all the continued challenges posed by COVID…I would really like to encourage some more working together across ALL of the churches in CTDD. Specifically, I have in mind that I would like to explore forming a CTDD Praise Choir. I envisage that the Praise Choir would do a mixture of hymns, gospel pieces and worship songs, probably mainly accompanied by a piano, but it would be good to sometimes involve some other instruments too. While we would strive to achieve good musical standards the focus will be on the “heart” of the singing and to support good “worship”. This will not be a choir for choral evensongs and lots of traditional anthems etc…. And then I envisage that the Worship Group would be more of a band with some strong singers on microphones leading the worship with hopefully bass, drums, guitars, keyboards and possibly other instruments too. Further details can be worked out in the future, but I’m excited by the ideas and the possibilities and I hope many of you will be too. For those of you that do not know me, I’ve been at Dronfield Parish Church for most of the past 21 years…but two years ago I had to take medical early retirement from work which has given me the benefit of more time (and energy) to do more things with music and so I am keen to use a little more of that time to try and help develop music and worship in the area over the next few years… In the first instance, I am hoping that lots of people will be interested and that you will get in touch with me to introduce yourselves and let me know if / what you might be interested in. Please forward this email on to anyone you think may be interested. |
