The Parish church of St Leonard, Lexden, Colchester Welcome to our website. We are an Anglican church in the Diocese of Chelmsford.
OUR NEW PRIEST IN CHARGE
Teresa is running those two parishes by herself during an Interregnum, so wishes to work a full three months notice before leaving them. We anticipate a Licensing and Installation service in September, when we will all be able to welcome her to St Leonard’s. Please keep Teresa and our parish in your prayers, and remember the parishes of Takeley and Little Canfield, as they say goodbye to her. We are also very pleased to welcome the new Bishop of Chelmsford, the Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell. He is moving from his present appointment as Bishop of Reading. Details can be found on the Diocesan website. The recent flower festival was a huge success. Massive congratulations to all who were involved. It has raised over £3500 for CYO. However, it's success was also in the numbers of people who took part in the preparations and also in the many people visiting the church, enjoying the hospitality and the events taking place. Photos are available in the July magazine.
We are delighted the new Church extension is now in use. For details and plans click here. In addition, there are photos in the gallery section. The new resource was dedicated by the Bishop in the morning service on 16th November 2008. Requests for bookings for the new facilities and the new rooms should be made to the Parish Administrator, Lynne Saint. Our ministry to the wider parish is important; and we strive to serve the local community of Lexden, and to be open and welcoming to those from within the parish asking for baptism, marriage and funerals.
