We had a great time this morning as we gathered for our Sunday worship. If you weren’t able to join us, here is the link to the recording of the service. We hope you enjoy the service.
Here is the recording of this morning’s Zoom Church meeting.
Watch our Easter Celebration service as St Leonard’s Church, Swithland joined with Christ Church & St Peter’s Church, Mountsorrel to celebrate the resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. The hymns have been missed out for copyright reasons. Please accept our apologies for the quality of sound on Reverend Colin’s microphone – we don’t really know what went wrong there. We were going to edit out the first five minutes of video, but found it such a joy to listen to, so we left it in. Enjoy.
On Good Friday, 10th April 2020, we would normally at St Leonard’s for an act of worship. This year, unable to meet in the Church, we met on Zoom to spend an hour before the cross. Enjoy our service of readings, prayer and silence.
We were not able to gather together as usual for our Palm Sunday service, so we met as Church at Home via Zoom. This was a new experience for many of us and the results of our service are available for all to see:
It is with great sadness that we have had to make the decision to suspend all Church events and acts of public worship (including Sunday services) until further notice.
However, this does not stop our worship of God. We can continue to pray, to find inspiration from Scripture, hymns and music on the internet. We can love and serve our neighbour and keep an eye out for those in need.
If you need help during this time of crisis, please send a message or contact Colin Resch on 0116 429 9946 and we will do what we can to assist you. Love and blessings.
As a church, we have been extremely concerned by the rapid transmission of the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Our prayers continue to be with all of those directly affected and with those who live with health issues that make them particularly vulnerable at this time.
After careful consideration, and in accordance with the current guidance and advice issued by both the Church of England and Public Health England, to help limit potential exposure to the virus we have made the following decisions:
If you have any concerns about these arrangements, please speak to a member of the ministry team or call Revd Colin Resch (0116 429 9946)
The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him.

We are looking forward to exhibiting at the Mountsorrel Memorial Centre Wedding Fayre on Sunday 15 March. If you’ve not seen our stand before, be prepared to meet Brenda – our clergy stand-in. Various members of our Church may pop in occasionally to support Brenda in her role. And, of course, our Acting Rector, Revd Colin Resch, will be on hand to answer your questions about Church Weddings.
Kidz Club meets this Sunday 1st March at 9.30am. We will start in Church with the congregation before going off to the upper room for our own time. Towards the end of the service we will join with the grown-ups for Communion and then tell everyone what we’ve been doing. Come along and join us.
