All Saints, 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.
Please click on one of the links below to find what you are looking for, and we hope soon to welcome you to one of our churches.
Latest News
Both of our churches are now open again, and from Sunday 16th May, all of our usual services will be resuming.
The pattern for Morning Prayer will remain different to usual, with Morning Prayer being on Zoom on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and said in St John's on Wednesdays and All Saints' on Thursdays.
Apart from this, our services are now as advertised on the Regular Services page of this website.
NEW THIS WEEK
Back issues of our popular Benefice Magazine are now available on this website. The current month magazine can be picked up in either church for the modest sum of 50p per month, but back issues are now available by clicking on the links below.

Message from the Vicar
It's wonderful to welcome you to the website of these two churches, where I am very proud to be the vicar.
Streamed Worship
Although our doors are closed for corporate worship, we continue to worship together and where possible, our worship will be streamed online.
You are very welcome to join us by clicking on the link below.
The regularly streamed services and events are as follows:
Morning Prayer - 9.00 a.m. on Tuesday, Friday & Saturday
(Morning Prayer on Wednesday and Thursday is in our churches)
Sunday Mass - 10.30 a.m.
Midweek Mass - 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday
Our two churches not only have a vast amount of history between them, having stood witness to over five hundred years of history, they are also places of vision and hope for a future for the communities that they serve.
They are first and foremost churches; places where we meet to give glory to God, to share in His grace freely given to us, to hold in our prayers the cares and concerns of His world, and to welcome all who come to join us.
Through history, churches have been places of refuge, places of safety, places of love, and places of community. We aim to continue this tradition in our two churches, and to be present in the communities that we serve, providing a constant invitation, welcome, support and love as we grow in our Christian faith and mission.
I hope that you find what you are looking for on this website, and whether you are interested in history, community activities, a wedding, a baptism, or joining us for one of our regular services, I hope that you find the invitation here and feel encouraged to come and meet us soon in person.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email, or click here for my other contact details, and I look forward to welcoming you soon.
With love in Christ,
Fr. Tim Stevens
