All Saints' Church, Darton
&
St John the Evangelist, Staincross
Welcome to the United Benefice of Darton and Staincross in the North of Barnsley.
We are a community of two churches working together to welcome all comers and share the Christian message with those around us.
AUGUST 2025
​
On Monday 11th August, All Saints’ Church was visited by Ruth Lisgo, a fulltime singer who livestreams singing in churches and also busks around the country. She has always had a passion for music and loves to invite people to take a moment out of their day to enjoy music. Recently, she has been visiting churches to sing and to share the beautiful surroundings as well as lovely music with her large online community.
She visited All Saints to hear the Barnsley Ilesha Ladies’ Choir, and, having seen it, was very enthusiastic to come and sing in it herself!
The next Concert@4 at All Saints’ Church will be on 14th September, when the M&Q folk group will present a variety of traditional and contemporary songs and tunes from all over the UK. Entry is free and refreshments will be served!
But before that, look out for the Darton Summer Fair in Darton Park on Saturday 13th September! This event, organized by the Voice for Darton and Kexborough and supported by All Saints’ Church, promises lots of entertainment, including welly-wanging and the duck race! Why not enter the cake competition?
Both of our churches are raising money for necessary work which must be done
to enable them to continue to serve our community into the future.
All support welcome.​
