Being Involved in St Leonard’s
Activities
You may have gathered we are a small church with a big heart. The activities and news gives you some ideas of how you can get involved and below are some specific activities for you to consider:
Prayer
We would love you to pray for our church, to find out more contact our prayer co-ordinator The Revd. Glynis Beckett sunningwellchurch@gmail.com
At the back of church is a prayer board in which people list requests for prayer. You will find paper and pens to add a request to the board.
Intercessions and Bible Readings

Church cleaning
Every so often we have a spring clean (sometimes delayed to the autumn). So if you are handy with a duster or mop you would be very welcome at our church cleaning morning. Watch the new section for dates!
Giving to St Leonard’s
Our churchwardens keep the church open most days and we know from the visitors book that this is a source of spiritual peace for those who take time out to pray and reflect on their Christian faith. Some of the Sunningwell Art School artists use St Leonard to explore their artistic creativity. Sunday afternoon is a busy point in the week when people just drop in. Keeping the church open to the public during the week is a significant in the life of the wider community.
We are also part of a wider church community which employs our dedicated Rector and provides us with a whole host of other services. Some of our other expenditure is more practical and we like being warm in the winter and the lights are fairly important too!
We have a number of ways in which you can give a gift to the church.
One-off gift:
Please complete the attached form.
Standing order:
A regular gift to St Leonard will provide us with a regular income to support not only our day to day running costs but our mission activities. For further information about giving by standing order contact: treasurer@stleonardsunningwell.org.uk
