It has been a big year for St Michael & All Angels Church in Ravenstone, celebrating its 700th birthday and successfully securing a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant.
As the end of the year draws ever closer and we get ready to celebrate the birth of Christ, the final baptisms, confirmations, and commitments of faith, have taken place around the diocese.
Bishop Saju visited Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurudwara in Leicester, together with Tom Wilson from the St Philip’s Centre.

Bishop Saju took time to meet and worship with many people around the diocese during October, admitting to communion, baptising and confirming a number of candidates on his journeys.
Around the diocese, across our many worshipping communities in our schools, churches and fresh expressions, people have been celebrating Harvest and giving praise to God.
Read Revd Phillippa Taylor's story, and how it has inspired her to hold a Baby Loss Service for anyone who has also been affected.
This patchwork quilt has been lovingly hand-stitched by a faithful and faith-filled network of quilters, who regularly retreat at Launde Abbey, to raise money for Ukrainian people living in Leicester.
A 'delightful day' was had at Launde Abbey by retired clergy who served in the diocese, plus those who now live here.
