Welcome
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.
We would like to welcome you on February 16th at either our 8am Holy Communion service (BCP) or our 9.30am Holy Communion service (CW). Both are being led by Rev’d Clive Watts and the readings will be from Malachi 3.1-5 and Luke 2.22-40.
