Whitbourne Graveyard plan and Register

Parish Action Plan

Parish Action Plan - just click on the picture!


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 28th June

Third Sunday after Trinity

Almighty God,
you have broken the tyranny of sin
and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts
      whereby we call you Father:
give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service,
that we and all creation may be brought
      to the glorious liberty of the children of God;
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.
