Swayfield is a friendly, rural village of approximately 145 homes and two farms surrounded by beautiful countryside, untroubled by traffic noise or pollution.
St Nicholas' Church is one of six churches in the Corby Glen Group of Parishes.
Services at St Nicholas' Church are held every Sunday, at 9.30 am, and include a monthly Family Service led by local Authorised Lay Ministers, Morning Prayer, and two services of Holy Communion, one being especially for families.
Following our services we gather for refreshments and a chat. This allows us the opportunity to greet and welcome any visitors and become aware of any issues arising in the Parish.
During our worship we pray for those known to us who are sick or in any kind of need. We take the opportunity to let them know there is someone available to help by the congregation signing and sending a card, which is delivered by a church member. There is also a telephone ‘Prayer and Care' chain which is activated when an urgent need for prayer arises during the week.</span>
At festivals such as Harvest, Christmas and Easter, and at special services such as a "Songs of Praise", our worship is enhanced by a choir which includes both members and non-members of the regular congregation.
