Stoughton Hosts Mission Partnership Joint Choral Evensong

Around 100 people representing many of our Mission Partnership Churches gathered together on Sunday 9th May at St Mary and All Saints Church Stoughton for Choral Evensong. The 22 strong choir was led by Janet Arthur from Smeeton Westerby and the organist was Arthur Whitfield from Great Glen. The music was chosen to mark the 250th anniversary of Handel's death and included the Alleluia Chorus, which sounded magnificent in the superb accoustic of the church.

After the service, the north aisle provided a spacious place to serve refreshments and for the congregation to enjoy each other's company.

Over the summer, there will be two joint evensong services, at Hungarton on 21st June and at Carlton Curlieu on 19th July.Then, in November we will be holding a joint Songs of Praise service, celebrating the mission activity taking place in churches within the partnership at St Luke's Thurnby at 6.30 pm on Sunday 15th November.

Kibworth & Fleckney Praise

Pentecost marks a significant step in the development of the Christian faith. As everybody met together, the Spirit came and rested upon them.
Prophecies were fulfilled on that day, and many people came to follow Jesus.
Peter encouraged people to repent and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This was the promise made to all.
On Sunday 31 May we will be celebrating Pentecost as we all meet together to relive the promise.
This is an event for everybody - the promise is for you, your children and those still far off.
4pm, Sunday 31 May at St Wilfrid's Church, Kibworth. There will be a family picnic afterwards.
Organised jointly by St Wilfrid's Church, Kibworth; Kibworth Methodist Church and New Life Church – Fleckney.
