Any money donated to the church via the link below will go towards renovating the north aisle, and turning it into a comfortable community space. As this is a community focussed project, any extra will be redirected to our hardship fund for people in need.

Many of you who've visited will have noticed that though the north aisle is our community space, with the kitchen, toilet, and library, it's a bit grotty.

We're hoping to do up the space, making it somewhere more comfortable, where people want to be. But we need your help...

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

Redoing the North Aisle isn't a big job. It'll cost around £1000 to turn it into a comfortable community space with chairs people actually want to sit on, storage, a table that isn't an old desk - but that's just not in our budget this year. So we're doing a little fundraiser...

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

This is a great way to engage more deeply with what is happening when you come to church. We'd love to see you there!

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

We know many of our community come from different traditions and experiences, as well as being new to faith, so on Sunday the 19th and 26th of January our weekly 18:30 Eucharist will be a 'Teaching Eucharist'.

What is a Teaching Eucharist?

Bishop Christopher (former Bishop of Northern Malawi and Assistant Bishop of Leicester) will preside at the service, and instead of a sermon Rev Rob will give a series of short reflections throughout, explaining what is happening, and why.

Has Christmas made you feel some unexpected feelings about Christianity?

Is your New Years resolution to deepen and develop your faith?

If you're in, or able to get to, Leicester, we'd love to help!

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

We know that the start of a journey of faith is a precious and fragile thing, and we want you to know that you're welcome among us, exactly as you are. At this church, and in these classes, there is no need to minimise or hide any part of who God created you to be.

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

In order to give our volunteers a rest St Nicholas Church is NOT open today, but we will be holding a service at 18:30 tomorrow as usual.

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

The beer has arrived! Join is the Saturday for our Beer & Carols event!

Alcoholic and non alcoholic craft beers are available to purchase, as well as soft drinks - and all money goes to support the church - which is a great excuse to get another round in!

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

Fun fact for the festive season: St Nicholas Church was built over 100 years closer to the birth of Christ than to today.

Why not come visit us sometime, and connect with over 1100 years of history?

[St Nicholas' Church @StNicholasLeics]

We're decorating the church today, ready for our Candlelit Carol Service at 6:30pm tomorrow.

Drop by between 2 and 4 today to help us put up the tree and eat a large amount of Christmas biscuits!

There will also be a service of evening prayer at 3:45 for those who wish to join.

my peace I give to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid.’
