Clent Parish Church
St. Leonard’s is a pretty, rural church, set below the south flank of Clent and Walton Hills, in the north of the county of Worcestershire. We are part of the Stourbridge Deanery of churches. Clent was formerly part of the United Benefice of Clent & Belbroughton with Fairfield. Recent re-organisation affiliates St. Leonard with the neighbouring churches of St. John and St. Saviour in Hagley, all under the guidance of Rev. Richard Newton who has returned from Sabbatical leave. We meet for worship every Sunday morning.

There will be an opportunity to invite
your friends to experience 'Church'
in a different way when Archbishop
Justin visits the Diocese from 7 – 9
October.
Events will be planned in Worcester,
Dudley and elsewhere in the Diocese
focussed around our Kingdom
People vision and also the
Archbishop’s priorities of
reconciliation, prayer and
evangelism.
On the Friday evening in Worcester
Arena we’re planning a big ‘in
conversation’ event where
Archbishop Justin will be interviewed
about his life and his ministry. It will
be entertaining and engaging as well
as thought provoking and
evangelistic. We’ve got 1600 seats to
fill, so please put it in your diary now
and start thinking of those outside
the church who might want to come
to see the Archbishop speak.
Clergy and Readers will want to be
present in the Cathedral on Saturday
for a 'retreat in daily life'. The
morning will be focussed around
prayer with input from Mucknell
Abbey and Glasshampton as well as
Archbishop Justin.
And there are events on the theme
of reconciliation being planned in
Dudley.

The ‘winning’ prayers in the schools’ entries in ‘A Prayer for Prayer’
to celebrate the Archbishop’s visit
Dear Lord, thank you for giving us the ability to
pray for ourselves and others.
Sorry that sometimes we don’t make room to pray
in our lives, so please please help us to pray more
regularly.
We ask you Lord to keep listening and sticking
with us.
Amen

Let me take the light of your love forth into the world, O
Lord, and shine it into the darkness of sin. Let me show to
the people whose lives are enshrouded in the midst of
uncertainty and despair, the loving friendship that Jesus
Christ your Son showed to us in the brief time he spent on
this earth before ascending to join you at his glorious
resurrection.
Let me learn to trust you with all my heart and teach others
to do the same. Teach me to be accepting but at the same
time to know, say and do what is right and what is your
biding. Remind me that fear need not be mine as you will
always stand by my shoulder and advise me of how to live;
protect me from harm that may come by me, and encircle
me with your ever forgiving love.
Please keep us, the sheep of the good shepherd, to the
straight and true path that leads to your kingdom of
eternal joy. Through the meanders of life lead us Lord, and
guide us past the temptation of evil. Though the road may
be hard and at times may be bleak, keep us striving Father,
striving towards the very glowing core of your greatness.
Amen
