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 to our 9.30am Morning Prayer Service on January 26th which will be led by Olga Harris and Gary Lee.
If you’d like to prepare your hearts and minds for this service then the readings will be:
Corinthians 12.12-31a and Luke 4.14-21.
