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 29th August
The Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity
Almighty God,
who called your Church to bear witness
that you were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself:
help us to proclaim the good news of your love,
that all who hear it may be drawn to you;
through him who was lifted up on the cross,
and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
