Services this month: JANUARY
“Belonging to Christ has never been measured by the number of people in church for a Sunday Service but by the service we offer to others every day.” Epiphany Sunday 3 rd Jan. 9:30am Holy Communion St. Saviour, Hagley 11:00am Sunday worship ZoomWorship during Lockdown 3.
Following the new restrictions announced by the government this week, the call for people to stay at home, and rapidly rising figures relating to coronavirus, we have decided not to hold services in church in either Hagley or Clent until the restrictions are eased. We will therefore hold worship just via Zoom on each Sunday at 10.30 am. We all wish it were otherwise, but have decided this is the safest and most responsible way forward for the time being. Revd. Richard Newton There is an alternative service available ALL WEEK, EVERY WEEK, on this website - on the next page - <This Week> ____________________________________________________________________SAFEGUARDING

Stourbridge Deanery News
From 1st February Stourbridge Deanery, of which St. Leonard had been part,
will be subsumed along with the Deaneries of Kingswinford and Dudley into
the newly created ‘Deanery of Greater Dudley’.
St. Leonard will not be joining them, initially.
Legal and historical affiliation to the ‘Benefice of Clent and Belbroughton with
Fairfield’ mean that we will transfer to the ‘Redditch and Bromsgrove
Deanery’ while making immediate application for St. Leonard to become part
of ‘Greater Dudley’ (thereby retaining our present Rector and Curate).
It is expected for Belbroughton and Fairfield to remain in the Bromsgrove
orbit; and for the churches of Churchill, Blakedown and Broome to make
application to transfer to the Deanery of Stourport and Kidderminster.
