EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS TRAINING
Thank you all for serving us. So far I have received just one return for the training at Mackworth on September 28/29th. Will other ministers let me know one way or the other this week please?
SUNDAY CLUB HELPERS: The monthly Sunday Club seems to be taking off but needs volunteers who can set out tables and chairs and who could take charge of New Age Kurling. Also, someone is needed to stand in for the Sunday Club Co-ordinator (Caroline Higgins) in case of illness, emrgency or holidays; there is an associated stipend for that 'deputising'. Please contact Caroline (T: 01298 27638) for more information. It would be a shame if the Sunday Club had to fold through lack of helpers

CONFIRMATION Congratulations to Molly, Araminta, Sophia, Josh, Joey, Leah, Julia, Mia, Sara, Caitlin, Abi, Casey, Catherine, Sean, Isabella and James who made their confirmation last Tuesday. Many of them will be leading us in the prayers at Mass this Sunday. Our thanks to all their Catechists, to the music group and to the refreshments group who looked after us so well in the Parish Centre. Bishop Patrick told us all how much he himself had enjoyed the celebration.
NEW PRAYER CARD
This will replace the Live Simply Prayer Card we have been using for 15 months. It will connect with CAFOD’s present campaign of “Celebrating Creation” as part of their “our common home” project. Please take a moment to look at the photos on the card. The market stall overflowing with varied fruits; the parched, cracked earth dried out by drought; the pathway through the forest and the polar bear standing on the last yard of ice in a sea of plastic. Let’s take our time to say the prayer. It will feed us and grow on us. Please leave the prayer cards in the hymn books. Can you remember the Live Simply Challenge? Reduce; Re-use; Recycle; Rebuild.
THANK YOU to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Derby, Professor Kathryn Mitchell who came to speak to us last Sunday about the changing situation of the University of Derby here in Buxton – how it’s already affected by Brexit and a 30% drop in EU students for next year, a massive cut in government funding, and the huge opportunity the opening of the new Crescent Hotel offers the town. She spoke of Pentecost as a new beginning and us receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit to enable us to make these new beginnings in our lives.
CHURCH RESTORATION
The builders have finished so have a good look at both the outside and the inside of the church. Please forgive the temporary Holy Water bowl in the entrance. You will notice the internal door has had a facelift; the rose window is now safe and resplendent and the ceiling in the main body of the church and the aisle is completely repainted. There are still some problems about the damp left hand Sanctuary wall which will be addressed when it dries out. What do you notice about the outside of the building?
100 CLUB
Thanks to all who have had Subscriptions to the club over the years. Thanks to John O’Meara who has run it in recent years. It officially ended this February and we are hoping to relaunch it in September/October. My thanks to Viv Robinson and Fabio Feroleto who have agreed to be the contacts when we relaunch.
RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION FROM THE CHALICE
Thanks to all who came to the Eucharistic Ministers meeting recently.
We thought reception from the chalice was going well and we want to encourage parishioners who haven’t had a try yet to do so.
The minister will say “The Blood of Christ” to you and you reply “Amen” and take the chalice from them. We know that people are rightly concerned about infection and ask that if you have a cold or sore throat you don’t take the chalice.
VOCATIONS SUNDAY
Many of us were brought up with the notion that only priests and nuns had “vocations”. In fact the Second Vatican Council recovered the ancient tradition that all Christians, all disciples of Christ, are “called”. We are all the sheep who know the voice of the shepherd and respond to him. We are much more familiar now to the notion of the whole parish community and indeed the whole church, being called as God’s pilgrim people. Journeying together in history and time we’re trying to be ‘light’ and ‘salt’ to the world around us. It makes a huge difference that we do this together and not just individually. How you live your Christian vocation makes a real difference to how I live mine and we hope to all our different neighbours. We have a Diocesan Vocations Team who can be contacted on 01159501064 or nottinghamvocations@hotmail.co.uk. Fr Paul Newman and Fr Jonathan Cotton lead the team. See the poster.
KAOMA BOXES Lots of boxes have already been returned– thank you! Are there any more?
LENTEN LUNCHES The Lenten Lunches this year raised £771.56 (some £50 more than last year). A wonderful effort. Many thanks to all those involved. The total has been split between CAFOD, Tear Fund and Christian Aid.
“JUSTNOW” The Diocesan Justice and Peace magazine is available at the back of Church.

Flower Festival Auction of Promises
Grand Total raised for the Flower Festival £1,812.37Many thanks to everyone who helped, particularly to Mike who acted as Auctioneer with great humour and skill and some wonderful individual bids undoubtedly came as a result of his gentle cajoling. Thanks also to Bruce who dealt with the bids, to Angela and Aileen for doing the refreshments, to Rob for all the printing and to Fr Dennis for all the advance publicity. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who kindly donated an item to auction or who bid for one or more of the lots.
We shall have a truly wonderful Flower Festival. We shall display a full list of the lots, donors & money raised at the back of the church from this evening.
Best wishes, Margaret Robinson
