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 Sunday 18th May at 8am for our Holy Communion Service (BCP) and at 9.30am for our Holy Communion Service (CW) both led by Rev’d Steve Delaforce. Readings will be taken from James 1.17-21 & John 16.5-15 and Acts 11.1-18 &John 13.31-35.
