A Churchwarden writes:
As a relatively new member of Southleigh’s church, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to “sing its praises.” It is a beautiful church in a peaceful and tranquil setting, and those who meet there together to learn more of God’s purpose for us and hear His word, are a warm, friendly and caring group of human beings, who welcome newcomers with open arms!
Come and join us!
The Year in Southleigh
Snowdrops in the Churchyard
The church provides a focal point for the whole community at important times of year. As well as our usual Sunday services, we welcome everyone to our festivals which include Christmas and Easter services, Mothering Sunday, our Harvest festival and lunch as well as Remembrance Sunday. We also host services and events for the whole Mission Community from time to time. Church members take part with the whole village in the popular Southleigh Fair, which takes place around St Lawrence’s feast day in August.

Fund raising for the roof repairs.
A large amount of money was raised by the community to fund the repairs carried out in 2012. Fund raising events included a concert and tea given by the Greenwood family and their friends on 26th August 2012:
We have wheelchair access but the path to the door is sloping and can be treacherous in icy conditions. There is a small step at the door which we think most people would manage but we could bring over a ramp from the village hall if it was needed.
There is hearing loop provision, we have some large print hymn books but we don't have any large print bibles yet.
