On Friday 3 March, Kibworth was part of a huge wave of prayer encircling the earth for at least 38 hours.

Audrey Hepburn - the famous actress, is sadly no longer with us. People -at least some people-listen uncritically, to the words of stars from the big screen and television. Audrey Hepburn once said,memorably, 'To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow’.
