Welcome to St Leonard’s Church, a member of the Soar Valley Minster Community
We’d like to thank you for popping by and take this opportunity to invite you to join us for our public worship services.
They are open to all and everyone is very welcome.
We are a small Anglican Church in the Leicestershire village of Swithland. Men, women and children have gathered at the historic Church of St Leonard’s for hundreds of years to worship the risen Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to serve the Kingdom of God and the people of Swithland & nearby villages. We would love to welcome you to join us. Our services vary in style and content and you can find more information about this under the worship tab on the menu.
For all other church and village news please see our newsletters.
Sunday 15th March is Mothering Sunday and we look forward to welcoming you to either our 8.30am Holy Communion (BCP) Service or our 10am Holy Communion (CW) Service both led by Rev’d Steve Delaforce. Readings at 8.30am will be from Galatians 4.21-end and John 6.1-14 and at 10am from 2 Corinthains 1.3-7 and Luke 2.33-35. The tradition of giving flowers continues at St Leonard’s and everyone attending at 10am will receive a flowering plant to take to their mother or someone they love.
