🎄🎄Christmas Tree Festival 🎄🎄.... (yes we know it's August!).

The team who have run the Christmas Tree Festival in recent years no longer have the volunteer capacity to run such a big and important event. We are so grateful to this team who are mixture of people from the town and from the church community. The church could not have run this event in recent years without the community's support.

So the big question is, do you the people of Dronfield want this event to happen this Christmas, and if so, are you willing to help make it happen? Does someone out there have the passion and time to take a lead with this, working in partnership with the church?

Please put your answers in the comments below and this will help our church council decide how we should proceed. Thank you. ☺️🙏

Dear all, a quick update. As most of you will know we are in the process of recruiting a Director of Music , the closing date is 1st September and packs are available from the Parish Office. Unfortunately, this positive process has been complicated by an error in an article in the September edition of the Dronfield Eye which mentions someone will "take over the choir at St John's Parish Church". The mistake also currently appears on the Dronfield Eye's page.
We want to make it very clear that the statement in the article has not come from anyone at St John's Church or involved with the church choir and was not checked with anyone responsible for music and the choir in the Church before publication - so it's come as a shock and has already caused some distress and concern for those involved.
We are working closely with Eye to get this error corrected as soon as possible and they will be publishing our vacancy advert on their page. However we have already received concerned messages about whether we are still recruiting , so have decided to publish a post here explaining the problem and confirming again that we are inviting applications for the post of Director of Music.
Mistakes happen and we get over them .
If you have any concerns, comments or questions please message us here and we will respond as quickly as we can.

We had a lovely Morning Prayer service this morning led by Rev Ian Webb and the sound from our new audio system ( recently installed by Hilltop AV) made singing from the choir stalls and the sound of the organ an absolute joy. We were a small group with a mighty sound!😊

A couple of pictures from the lovely, cool, green space that is our churchyard this morning , a great place to stop and relax for a few minutes. I could even smell the roses!
And thanks to our lovely gardening volunteers who look after it so well !
