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 5th February
The Third Sunday before Lent
Almighty God,
who alone can bring order
to the unruly wills and passions of sinful humanity:
give your people grace
so to love what you command
and to desire what you promise,
that, among the many changes of this world,
our hearts may surely there be fixed
where true joys are to be found;
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.
