A reflective service to remember those we've loved and lost. Names can be sent to the Vicar, [email protected]

According to unreliable sources, he was a Frank courtier who was converted by St. Remigius, refused the offer of a See from his godfather, King Clovis I, and became a monk at Micy. He lived as a hermit at Limoges and was rewarded by the king with all the land he could ride around on a donkey in a day for his prayers, which were believed to have brought the Queen through a difficult delivery safely. He founded Noblac monastery on the land so granted to him, and it grew into the town of Saint-Leonard. He remained there evangelising the surrounding area until his death. He is invoked by women in labour and by prisoners of war because of the legend that Clovis promised to release every captive Leonard visited. His feast day is November 6.

We meet at St. Leonards Church on the second Wednesday of each month. For more information, contact Wendy Barber 01772 827443

Bingo Night @ St Aidan's Community Hub

A Service of readings and carols to get you in the mood for the story of the Messiah's birth this Christmas.

For many, Christmas is not ‘The Most Wonderful Time of the Year’ (as the song goes). A Blue Christmas service can offer some healing and hope.

The idea behind the Blue Christmas service is to create space for acknowledging the heaviness often carried during this season, an opportunity to remember loved ones, as well as offering the hope that Jesus provides.

Come as a family and listen to the Christmas story told in a new way. Both children and adults are welcome to dress as their favourite character of the nativity, be it an angel, donkey, Mary or Joseph.
