We had exciting news this week, when it was confirmed that the Pastoral Reorganisation to form our new Benefice with St Andrew's Leicester Forest East has completed with effect from 1st July 2026. This brings to an end a long process of journeying together, growing friendship and partnerships in mission, as well as completing various legal formalities. Revd David Hover is now officially Rector of the new benefice of Leicester Forest East and Braunstone Town with Thorpe Astley, and we hope to have a special joint service to celebrate all of this in the near future! Keep an eye on this page for details!

In regular news, it is once again Breakfast Church this Sunday. We meet informally for worship, interactive prayer and activities in the church hall starting at 10am, with light breakfast served from 9:30am. All are most welcome to join us!
