Changes. Since Kibworth joined its new, larger, ‘Circuit’ of Methodist Churches last September several changes have taken place. Rev. Andy Murphy remains the minister of this church, but we now enjoy a larger range of ministers and local preachers leading our services. This month, alone, our six services will be led by six different individuals! “Why?” someone said.  “Why not?” I say. Is it not worth listening to different people interpreting the Gospel and choosing different ways to worship our God?

A one-day seminar inspired by the Marriage Course will take place on Saturday 25 November, 9.30am - 4.30pm (Sandwich lunch provided) in St Wilfrid’s Church Hall, Kibworth.

There are many reasons why we should be worried about the climate crisis we face. However, thankfully, there are still good news stories about saving wildlife and reducing our carbon footprints.

Many Churches in a much more prominent location than ours use their external notice boards to send a humorous message with a meaning to those passing by. Here are just a few examples.

Leicester Cathedral Choir will sing at St. Peter’s Church, Church Langton, for a full Choral Evensong to mark the Festival of St. Petertide.

One has to arrive in Foxton along the road that passes Gartree Prison to note the wonderful landscape. Foxton has a charmingly simple village layout almost grid-like which, following the arrival of the Grand Junction canal in 1800s, lies below this waterway with a few exceptions.

The Coronation Service will take place on the morning of Saturday, 6 May at Westminster Abbey. St Wilfrid’s Church Hall will be open if people would like to come together to watch the televised service. The times are due to be announced soon.
