400 Years of the King James Bible Celebration

The 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible, the best selling book of all time is being celebrated this year and an Exhibition is being held at St Mary's Church, East Leake.

Over the weekend of the 13th to 16th of May there will be an exhibition in support of our celebrations in St. Mary’s Church. The exhibition will be open each afternoon until 5:00pm and all day Saturday the 14th from 9:00am to 6:00pm.

Whilst the thought of visiting an exhibition based on a 400 year old book might sound boring, I would suggest you come along – you might be surprised!

On Sunday, 15th May, Canon Jack Higham will be preaching at the 9.30am service.  He is an expert on the King James Bible, so we look forward to discovering more about what is so special about this bible.

Sunday, 15th May is also the beginning of Christian Aid week when envelopes will be delivered around the village.  There will also be the annual Christian Aid mini market at the Methodist Church, where you can buy plants, cakes and preserves between 10.00-12.00noon.  But come early for the best choice.
