We look forward to welcoming our new minster Rev Christopher Andam in September, click here for some information about him from the circuit website.
New Boilers
We have recently installed two new boilers to replace the extremely old ones that were no longer working. This will mean that the church members and everyone who uses the premises will have much warmer and more comfortable winters.
The cost to do this has been considerable and we are very grateful to Leicester Trinity Circuit and church members who have helped to make this possible.
A successful application for the boiler fund to Benefact Trust resulted in a grant of £3,929. Uppingham Road MC is very thankful for this generous grant.
