Greetings

We are a group of Anglican churches found in the Derbyshire Dales. Many of our ten churches are historic buildings found at the centre of village life, and our largely rural communities vary in size from 150 to 5000 people.

We seek to minister to the spiritual needs both of our congregations, and the communities in which our churches are found.

We are committed to the wider vision of the Church of England, which for centuries has provided places of Christian celebration, and a focus for all of life's significant events. If you are visiting the area as a tourist, then you are very welcome to call in.

Many of the churches in the team are open daily simply for you to look around or to spend time in prayer. If you have recently moved to the area, and are looking for a place to worship, then feel free to join us either on Sunday or at any of the other occasions when our churches are involved in community activities.

Details of our churches and service times are to be found on this website. Should you wish to be in touch with me directly, then please email me at david.truby@btinternet.com , or ring me on 01629 822858.The Team Ministry office is open duing weekday mornings on 01629 824707. Links to the Diocese of Derby and Wirksworth community website are also to be found here.

With my best wishes. Yours in Christ; Canon David Truby (Team Rector)

Things to do in Lent
Please see our weekly notices for lenten activities in and around the Team. The Bishop of Derby, Dr Alastair Redfern, has produced a book- "Public Space and Private Faith," which will help Christians to think and pray about some of the issues that we face during this election year. His daily blog during lent can be downloaded from the Diocesan website, a link to which is found on this page.

A companion booklet, "Faith in Politics," designed for daily devotional use, is also available at £2 per copy. Orders for this booklet can be taken at the Team Office on 01629 824707
