Weekly Prayer Focus: Great Leighs Free Church

Week 19

Situated in the relatively small village of Great Leighs, between Braintree and Chelmsford, is the Fellowship of Great Leighs Free Church. The Church used to be on the main road between the two towns, however, the village was bypassed a number of years ago.

The church has not had a minister since 2005/6 and is now led by a Ministry Team – Evelyn Hornsby is the secretary and the other leaders are Andrew Tustian who is the Church Musician, Julia Hornsby, Bruce Dannatt and Geoff Green the Treasurer.

Great Leighs Free Church is an active fellowship of 30 members and a regular Sunday congregation of around 40. Activities, other than the usual Sunday morning service (with activities for children) and a monthly Sunday afternoon ‘get together’ with tea following, are Boys and Girls Brigade companies, a Toddler group, ‘Spring’ coffee morning, Bible studies, prayer meetings (on Zoom) and monthly Prayer Breakfasts and Lunch Club. During the winter months they have also run a Warm Space.

The fellowship also deliver the Good News newspaper around the village so that every house receives a copy every 4 months.

They held a successful Café Church just before Christmas and then a Tree Lighting activity in addition to the usual Christmas activities. They were encouraged to see quite a few visitors to these events. 2025 offers opportunities through family services and their prayer is that activity can be translated into people coming to know Jesus as their Saviour.
