We are people of all ages, praying for and serving the communities around us. Worship is at the centre of what we do. We have regular services of Holy Communion within our churches during the month; please see the Calendar for details. Children are welcome at all our services but we also have services particularly designed to involve children and families, including Worship at Ten once a month in Melton, and the short time of worship at the end of Saturday Morning at St Mary’s). There are toilet facilities and play areas at St Mary’s Melton, St Mary the Virgin Thorpe Arnold and St James’ Burton Lazars.
