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.

Happy New Year from the Kibworth Benefice Churches.

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?

As I retire from my role as parish priest, my family and I want to thank the people of the Kibworth Benefice for 18 years of shared life, faith and friendship.

“On that first Christmas morning, the angels were singing, the shepherds were celebrating, the wise men were still travelling and the innkeeper was making breakfast for his full house.  Meanwhile, Joseph was possibly feeling a little overwhelmed by the responsibility confronting him, and the Bible says Mary was ‘pondering’, ‘treasuring all these things in her heart’ (Luke 2:19) as she held and fed her new-born baby.

National Safeguarding Week - National Safeguarding Sunday was held on Sunday 16 November

As ‘SLADE’ would shout in their well-known record “It’s CHRIST……MAS”.

Come and celebrate with us! St Andrew’s has traditional services and events with all the trimmings. The church will be fully lit and decorated for the Christmas Tree Festival from Friday 12 December until Sunday 14 December.
