Please note that there is a Methodist Service in Parwich Church at 2.30pm this Sunday, 6th January.
The Anglican and Methodists communities in Parwich and in the wider Ashbourne Circuit have a strong history of cooperation, and for some time have regularly held monthly joint services in Parwich Church. Later this year this will be extended for all Parwich Sunday services to be joint Anglican/Methodist services.

The van will be in the village (as close to Parsons Croft as I can safely be) on the 5th from 6 – 7, then I’ll be a shadowy figure toasting one side at the bonfire!

‘All Age’ Sunday Service
Posted in Church on Friday October 19, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Loving the blog, thanks for all the work, so user friendly and informative.
I see in 2007 there was lots of interest in Modern Slavery. On this Sunday 21st at 10am in church we welcome David Howe who has an up to date survey of Slavery in the East Midlands. There’s info about a new phone app to help identify Slavery in car washes. Real coffee as usual!We’ve rebranded our third Sunday service as All Age, we have something for everyone.Thanks for reading, see you soon.Carollyn
Invite to our Sunday Service about the response to Modern Slavery, especially Car wash!

Plant Sale Continues
Posted in Church, Classified adverts, Gardens on Tuesday July 10, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Thank you to all who bought plants last week, just over £50 went to the Carnival & Recreation Committee. This week proceeds will go to Parwich Church. There are still a range of herbaceous plants, shrubs, kitchen garden plants and others, including a large forsythia and a large dogwood which has bright red stems in winter.
If no one is about help yourself to the plants at the gate for Church Farm in Creamery Lane and leave what you think is a fair price in the honesty box. Everything must go.

News of Ballidon Church
Posted in Ballidon, Church on Wednesday June 20, 2018| Leave a Comment »
Dear all
I’m delighted to say that the church at Ballidon has now been saved and repaired by a tiny charity called the Friends of Friendless Churches. We own nearly 50 churches which we have saved from demolition and decay, and there is now a page on our website about All Saints Ballidon:
http://friendsoffriendlesschurches.org.uk/ballidon/
Please do get in touch if you want to help at the church as a keyholder or to keep an eye on it for us – we are a very small charity relying on local people to help us look after these important buildings. And we need local contacts at Ballidon.
We also welcome new members – so if you are no longer local but want to support us, please consider joining us as a member!
Best wishes
Caroline Welch, Web Manager at Friends of Friendless Churches .
