In the early days of the Methodist Church, Wesley conducted his services in the Open-Air. So, when on the morning of Easter Sunday 2026 we were faced when none of our four regular musicians being present for various reasons, the congregation did not hesitate but to decide to sing all the hymns totally unaccompanied. What a joyful sound it was! The children present all received a free Easter Egg with a booklet telling the Easter Story. We once again ‘dressed’ the plain Wooden Cross with colourful flowers to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. The Cross being placed outside the church afterwards for all to see.

After a brief spell on the sidelines the Stonton Wyville church bell is reinvigorated and back in action.

We welcome everyone to join us this Easter; we have services and events to suit all.

There will be a special service at St Wilfrid’s Kibworth with communion, hymns, and prayer. During this service, ashes made from palm crosses are blessed and used to make crosses on people’s foreheads to signify the repentance of sin and mortality.

Fifteen years ago or so, the Friends of St Wilfrid’s Church, purchased some low-level staging blocks for use in concerts. These staging blocks were loaned out to another organisation for their use. Alas, the Friends do not know currently where these staging blocks have ended up. We would like them back for the soon to be performed David LePage concert. If you know where they are or any other information about them, please contact Anne Flower on 07540 719 298 as soon as possible.

Those who attend Kibworth Methodist Church believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and look forward to life after death.

This year, St Wilfrid’s Church, Kibworth, is delighted to host the World Day of Prayer service on Friday 6 March at 2.30pm.

After Christmas, I’d like to reflect on recent events in our village. We held a successful Christmas Fayre with lively chatter and laughter. The following Wednesday, Helen Benton, our village Pilates teacher, organised a well-attended ‘LOROS’ Coffee morning, raising another £500 for a deserving charity. This added to the £200 raised from CoCo mornings and £300 from the Christmas Fayre.

Our sisters in Nigeria invite us to join them for the World Day of Prayer on Friday 6 March 2026. The service they have prepared reflects on the theme, “I will give you rest”.

In 1878 a Robert Haymes of Wistow Lane set up ‘The Haymes Trust’ in the sum of £1,800 which was to be invested in the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. The interest to be used to support a Wesleyan Methodist Missionary resident in Kibworth Beauchamp, or for other Methodist purposes mentioned in the Trust Deed.

In the last week of Rev Ludger Fremmer’s time as priest at St Wilfrid’s, Congregationalist Anne Flower organised for Salvo Brass to play a Christmas concert. Isn’t brass band music and Christmas just the perfect match?
