Kirby Muxloe Free Church

Scott is returning to the UK briefly for a family wedding this month, and is taking the opportunity to make a couple of visits to partner churches – and he’s coming to visit us here in Kirby.

So clear your diary – Monday 22nd March, 7:30pm. And because we wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to share a more informal time as well, we’re meeting an hour beforehand for a bring-and-share tea.

More details under the ‘Mission’ tab!

Ben Marshall, Director of this event, writes:

Following the success of ʻHappy Dayʼ & ʻTrue Loveʼ, the Seymour Road Worship Team are back on the road again this Easter with their latest worship production ʻAwakeningʼ.
The evening explores the Easter story from the point of one of the Roman guards involved in executing Jesusʼ crucification. The evening is delivered by one of the finest young worship bands in the country, under the creative direction of Ben Marshall (Grapevine, Spring Harvest, Dave Bell Band, The Marshall Band), the production incorporates Multimedia, Video, Drama, Music, Dance and Reflection and is suitable for all ages.

This year, the show is being rolled out to three venues in three nights. Starting in the bandʼs home town of Hucknall on Good Friday before moving to West Bridgford on Saturday night and finally to Kirby Muxloe in Leicester on Easter Sunday.

“With ʻAwakeningʼ, weʼre looking to give a different perspective on how the Easter story unfolded. The Easter Story is a tale of amazing love and hope and that comes across in the production through every aspect. Weʼre excited to be visiting Nottingham (West Bridgford) and Kirby Muxloe this year and really canʼt wait to get the show out on the road”

Here’s a sample – just one song from the event:

Not too long now! Monday 26th July – Sunday 1st August sees us make a visit to Rocky’s Plaice: Kirby Muxloe’s First Ever Chip Shop!

That’s right – it’s Holiday Club time again. And this year we want to invite you to take a table at Rocky’s Plaice to find out more about Peter, and how knowing Jesus changed his life, and then how he and his friends started to change the world!

And you’ll meet up with Salt and Vinegar, two trainee chefs, who have a habit of making a mess; and loads of other characters – the Deep Fat Fryer; Captain Ketchup, and Rocky and Squish. You really don’t want to miss it!

Hi – I’m Bob Almond, and I’m part of the leadership team here at Kirby Muxloe Free Church. To be specific, I’m the Senior Minister, which means that I head up the team of folk who seek, under God, to identify the overall direction that the Church is heading. I’m responsible for most of the Sunday teaching, too. But I’m only a part of what is quite a large team – some folk working in specific areas, like youth & children’s work, others helping across the life of the church with administration. Here on the website you’ll find insights and explanations into how we organise ourselves.

But more important is why. Why do we do all this?Because we believe we have something worth sharing – the good news of the overwhelming love of God for people like you and me. God showed that conclusively in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; we are seeking to live out the same good news in our lives today. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore, and maybe even come and visit us in person!
