A message from our Rector
Brothers and Sisters,
Appointment of Team Vicar at Holy Trinity Leverstock Green
I am delighted to let you know that it was announced in all the churches of our Team this morning, that the Revd Dr Diana Stretton, currently Assistant Curate in the United Benefice of Sharnbrook, Felmersham and Knotting with Souldrop has been appointed as Team Vicar in the Langelei Team Ministry, with special responsibility for Holy Trinity, Leverstock Green. This is subject to completion of the usual legal formalities.
Diana’s Licensing and Installation service will be held on Thursday, 24th April 2025 at 7.30 p.m. at Holy Trinity, Leverstock Green so please put this date in your diary now – it would be great to have representation from across the Team at this service to welcome Diana into her role.
We are really pleased that Diana will be joining us in the Spring, and we look forward to everything she will bring to Holy Trinity and the wider Team. Please continue to pray for and support Holy Trinity’s churchwardens, Terry and Beverley, the Ministry Team, and all who are supporting Holy Trinity during the remainder of the Vacancy, and please remember Diana, her husband Chris, and her curacy parishes in your prayers too.
Every blessing,
Fr. James

Welcome to Holy Trinity Leverstock Green. We are a vibrant and warm church at the heart of village life; a church that is open to the whole community, and works in partnership with other village organisations to serve their needs; a church with prayer and worship as the bedrock, where individuals at all stages are encouraged to grow in their faith.
We extend a special welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed, gay, confused, filthy rich, comfortable, or dirt poor.
We extend a special welcome to wailing babies and excited toddlers.
We welcome you whether you can sing like Pavarotti or just growl quietly to yourself. You’re welcome here if you’re ‘just browsing’, just worken up or just got out of prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven’t been to church since Christmas ten years ago.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome keep-fit mums, football dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-suppers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome you if you’re having problems, are down in the dumps or don’t like ‘organised religion’. (We’re not keen on that either!)
We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or are here because granny is visiting and wanted to come to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced, both or neither. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as kids or got lost in the village and wound up here by mistake. We welcome pilgrims, tourists, seekers, doubters…and you!
