Welcome
 Whitbourne
itself is
just one of a group of six parishes which make up the Parish of Greater
Whitbourne, in the care of
the Rector, David Howell, pictured here. There are four churches still
in use and
lovingly cared for, but the one at Wolferlow has now been made
redundant.
The parish is
situated in beautiful countryside in
the North East of the County of Herefordshire.
Bounded on the East by
the River Teme and on the South by Bringsty Common, the western part
consists of sparsely populated farmland, while Whitbourne itself
is a large village, many of whose inhabitants are connected with
farming, and some of whom work in Worcester or
Birmingham.
The Collect for 13th May
Sixth Sunday of Easter
God our redeemer,
you have delivered us from the power of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom of your Son:
grant, that as by his death he has recalled us to life,
so by his continual presence in us he may raise us
to eternal joy;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
