Welcome service for new Superintendent Minister

It seems to be the summer of services across Derbyshire-North East. In addition to our Service of Thanksgiving for Duckmanton Chapel and our services of both Farewell and Welcome for our District Chair, we are also holding a Service of Welcome for our new Superintendent.

Revd Mark Carrick joined our Circuit back in September 2020. This was his first appointment since completing his studies at Queens and, in 2022, we delighted in his ordination service at the Methodist Conference, held that year in Telford. Mark was reinvited in 2023 for a further appointment with us, and will remain on Circuit until August 2030.

Initially holding responsibility for Central, Barlborough and Clowne, Mark took additional pastoral charge for Storrs Road, Loundsley Green LEP, Hasland and Bolsover in 2024. Now, from 2025, Mark will take on further responsibilities as Circuit Superintendent.

We will mark this occasion with our Welcome Service on Sunday, September 7th, at Bolsover Methodist Church, at 3pm. All are welcome as we offer prayers for Mark and our Circuit for the new term.
