SENIORS

The Senior Fellowship meet twice a month on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 12.30pm (for a 12.45 start). Coffee and tea are available (for a small charge), just bring your own sandwiches.

The above picture shows the Senior Fellowship on holiday in September 2006 at Thornleigh Christian Hotel, Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria.  The group were joined by Jonathan & Sarah Wood, Jonathan now Pastor of Whittlesey Baptist was assistant Pastor at Knighton some years ago, he brought the Bible Ministry to the group during the holiday.  The extremely enjoyable holiday was organised by Dave & Pat Wisdish.

On the first Tuesday the group works to support missionary organisations. We sometimes also enjoy games such as Carpet Bowls. On the third Tuesday a visiting speaker is usually invited.

During the summer months the group usually meets away from the church building at various venues, sometimes with the opportunity for swimming. There are regular coach outings (recent highlights have been the Severn Valley Steam Railway and a Tea Cruise on the River Trent). The group also occasionally go out for lunch together, and every second year there is an organised holiday.

This pictures shows the Group on their recent to visit to the Gideon National Office in Lutterworth.  Iain Mair, Executive Director for the Gideons in the British Isles arranged a tour of the building and then gave a talk of his trip to Venezuela.  Refreshments concluded a most interesting afternoon.

If you are retired you are very welcome to come along to any of the meetings and join in the activities. We are sure you will make new friends and really enjoy the fellowship.

KNIGHTON HOMES

Knighton Homes is the vision of Knighton Evangelical Care Ltd, an independent company set up by Knighton Evangelical Free Church to develop a local, purpose built housing for the elderly in a Christian environment. This need was identified as a result of some members having to find retirement accommodation away from their local fellowship.



The development comprises 25 units, being a mixture of bungalows and flats offering both one and two bedroom options. The majority of flats and bungalows have been sold, although a few were made available for renting.

Knighton Homes is situated just off the Welford Road in Leicester and is in close proximity to the church in Brinsmead Road.

The development is set in a landscaped area of maintained gardens serviced by a private road. Office and overnight visitor accommodation is provided and there is a 24-hour emergency call service linked to each unit. 



A service charge is applied to cover maintenance of the development. This includes grounds and services and also a part time warden. A minimum age of 55 will apply. Knighton Homes remains under the control of Knighton Evangelical Free Church, Brinsmead Road, Leicester.

All enquiries should be addressed to: - The Office, 4 Knighton Homes, Muston Gardens, Welford Road, Leicester. LE2 6FX. Tel. 0116 288 7361
