Many members and friends of Claremont Street gathered last Saturday morning to spruce up the church in preparation for the Church Anniversary the following day. All the hard work in polishing, window-cleaning and litter-picking was rewarded with a fish and chip lunch.
Worship on Sunday morning was led by Rev'd Karen Murphy, a minister previously stationed in the Circuit. Karen returned with her husband Vince and two of their children - now grown up. She sends greetings to all those who knew her.
Members and friends are thanked for their generosity in contributing to the gift appeal.

Birstall Methodist Church was packed this morning for the service of Thanksgiving for the life of Brenda Leeson. Brenda was a member at Claremont Street Methodist Church and an active member in the Leicester North Circuit. Tributes spoke of her "unobtrusive kindnesses" and "quiet grace" - phrases which will chime with all those who knew this wonderful woman, who we shall miss so much. |

On the third Sunday of the month we’re experimenting with a more informal and interactive style of worship at Claremont Street. The first of these was the baptism of Harry Robert Ho-jing Tang. Mandy, his mum, writes….
Harry’s Baptism at Claremont was a lovely family occasion. Rachel designed the service to involve everybody in the preparation of items to be used in the Baptism.

Claremont Street is located on the northern outskirts of the City of Leicester in a multi-ethnic area called Belgrave. The area is changing with factories and public houses being converted to private
dwellings, which add to the existing well-established housing stock.
The Church has a loyal membership and a community roll totaling approximately 100. It has a Girls’ Brigade, Sunday School and cares for all ages from toddler to senior citizen. About one third of our
people live in the area. Two thirds travel in from the surrounding area. The Church Society has existed for over 125 years and seen many major changes.
Our Sunday Services tend to be traditional with a small Sunday School. One of the greatest assets at Claremont is the warmth and fellowship of its people. Our weekday activities include the Girls’
Brigade, Senior Friendship Group, Coffee Drop in Centre, Weekday Communion and Luncheon Club.
Part of our premises are used by the Soar Valley Music School who have a very good reputation throughout the UK. This means the property is used daily, mainly by young people for the teaching
of music.
Services are regularly conducted by members of the congregation, showing a commitment to be involved fully.
There are links with other Christian denominations in Belgrave and Rushey Mead, i.e. Anglican, Catholic, Baptist and United Reform who join together for worship and other activities.
Service times.
Sunday. 10.30am & 6.00pm
