Three weeks ago this young couple made themselves at home in our chapel garden and haven’t left us since. Any ideas what shall we call them? 😊

The upcoming concert has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We join the choir in sending our apologies to all who were looking forward to it.

Tickets will be refunded via TicketSource.

We are hoping to welcome Open Stage in the future, so keep an eye out for future announcements.💙

Did you notice the new Visit Leicester's "Changing Past" Heritage panel outside the old Unitarian church on Narborough Road, currently home to Elim Pentecostal Church?

You may even recognise the jug in the picture from our previous post 😇☺️

We will use the historic communion set that was gifted to Rev Gertrude von Pezold at Easter 120 years go! She was the first female church minister in England serving the Narborough Road Free Church (Unitarian) in Leicester.

You are most welcome to join us whether you are new to Unitarianism, just curious, or want to refresh your memory. With exception of February we will be meeting in the last week of the month, but the day of the week may vary.

In the 1st session we will do some groundwork in the Early Church period.

Not only do we have our historic chapel right in the heart of #Leicester but also we care to make sure that your big day reflects who you are.

Rejecting the “one size fits all” approach, we offer personalised ceremonies that honour you - your stories, characters, and your beliefs or lack of those.
