Our church in Smeeton Westerby has been in existence since 1848/9. For those of you who have visited, I think you will agree that it is a beautiful church in a glorious rural setting. The church council has always been diligent in keeping up with repairs and maintenance. They have ensured that it remains in the excellent condition that you find it today. However, you will have noticed that the footpath in front of the churchyard has had to be coned off. This is due to the ‘lean outwards’ of the churchyard wall having significantly increased. So much so that there is now a greater danger of it collapsing onto the footpath and highway. This is due to the soil behind it and the roots of a large, lime tree pushing against it.

Members of the local running club have been busy competing in races and endurance events across the country over recent weeks. Producing a series of impressive performances from 10Ks to ultra-marathons.

Twenty years ago in January 2006, a founder shared her vision of praying for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the whole of Lent at a local service. This crazy idea sparked a group of people from both churches in Kibworth to work towards making it a reality. After 40 days, it became clear that the vision couldn’t end there. Five of the 13 people had the same vision of a permanent place in Kibworth. Aa place of prayer plus a coffee shop, a safe place for young and old. Properties became available, but which one was the right one? Confirmation came through the revelation that there was a well in the garden – hence the name The Well.

Did you know that there are up to four million new books published each year? That would be a seriously large “to be read” pile! How on earth do you decide what to read next?

Carol Marsden’s talk ‘Carol’s Capers, Adventuring for Charity’ certainly lived up to its title.
Retired from the NHS, she has completed many challenges. She was asked to raise money for ‘PROSTAID’ to provide a specialist nurse for men.
