The ‘Churches Together’ Christmas card for 2021 has been lovingly created by Sebby Shelton. Sebby, aged nine, is a member of St Wilfrid’s Church, Kibworth. Sebby is a very keen artist and was delighted to be asked to design this year’s card; he also very aptly celebrates his birthday on Christmas Day! 

We are happy to once again offer a full schedule of services at our three churches; Kibworth, Saddington and Smeeton Westerby. You can find a service to suit your needs from Traditional Communion and Modern Worship through to our fun 'express' service for young families on the first Sunday of the month.
