​OTHER THINGS YOU CAN DO……..
 
Sundays at 10am. Every Sunday at 10am on the @DioceseofLeicester Facebook page or the Diocese of Leicester Youtube channel there will be a short pre-recorded video providing an opportunity to engage with the Gospel reading of the day. There will be simple prayers, a reading, a brief devotional homily and a creative interpretation of the Bible story by an artist, and a closing blessing. Just follow the Diocese of Leicester Facebook page and join with others around our diocese in experiencing God’s word in a slightly different way.
 
Daily Offices with the Community of the Tree of Life. Keep an eye out for details of the new monastic community's own Daily Office, which will be livestreaming on their @LeicTreeofLife Facebook page every week day (Mon-Fri). There will be a shortened morning, noon and night-time version from members of the Community who will provide a rich opportunity for us to punctuate our day with prayer, knowing that we’re doing so in company with other Christians from around the city and county.

Jacob's Ladder and Coffee and Chat
​will resume as soon as it is feasible.
