Mr Jonathan Goddard – Consultant Urological Surgeon

– ‘No worse than a blunt razor’ – surgery before the

invention of anesthetic’

Our guest speaker this evening is Mr Jonathan Goddard, who

has been a longstanding member of the Parish Church and a

Consultant Urological Surgeon. The title of his talk is ‘No

worse than a blunt razor’ – surgery before the invention of

anesthetic.

Jonathan trained in London and came to Leicester in 1999 to

carry out research into bladder cancer and was subsequently

awarded an MD from the University of Leicester. He stayed in

the midlands to complete his specialist training and was

appointed as a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Leicester

General Hospital in 2008.

He is a General Urologist covering all aspects of diagnosis

and management of urological and genitourinary disease and

carries out over 1000 urological procedures per year.

Jonathan has a particular interest in Andrology (Male sexual

health), Bladder Pain Syndrome (previously called Interstitial

Cystitis), incontinence and urine infections. Jonathan works

as part of a specialist team treating the rare disease of penile

cancer in Leicester taking referrals from across the Midlands

covering a population of 5 million.

Jonathan also has a degree in medical history and is the

curator of the Museum of Urology, part of The British

Association of Urological Surgeons. He sits on the

Council of the Urology Section of the Royal Society of

Medicine and the History Office of the European

Association of Urology.

This promises to be a fascinating, informative and

enlightening evening. Please try and come along and

support Jonathan and if at all possible, try and bring a

guest.

We meet on a Saturday morning from 7:30-9:00am on the first Saturday of each month. We enjoy a full English breakfast and spend time discussing a Bible passage and praying for one another.

The church building does not have toilets.  Toilets are available in the Old School Rooms which are between the church building and the Victoria Mills car park.  This includes a toilet for people with a disability and baby changing facilities.
If you need to be dropped off nearer the church building, please contact us so that we can explain how you can do this.
The paths from the public footpaths to the church building are uneven.
There is a sound loop for anyone who needs it.  Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up.

11:00am Service

Someone from the church will welcome everyone.  There will be singing (you don't have to join in), readings from the Bible and prayers.  Someone will give a message from the Bible and that we can apply to our everyday life.  We also have news and notices mainly about the life of the church.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for children and young people:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.  You will be able to hear the service in the creche.
  • Scramblers (3-5 years)
  • Climbers (5-7 years)
  • Explorers (8 - 11 years)
  • GRID (11 - 14 years)
  • Young people (15+ years) Stay in service.

We meet during the 11:00am service each Sunday (GRID 2nd and 4th Sundays). We spend a short time in church for the family focus and then for the rest of the service we are in the Old School Rooms.
On the fourth Sunday of each month, we will start together in the Old School Rooms and return to church for communion. Come and learn about Jesus and have lots of fun!

You will have great teachers and make lots of friends!  Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshiping God all together as a family. Someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, Bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. 

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

  • Men's Ministries
  • Women's Ministries
