The sun shone and the breeze was light - a perfect day for cycling around our local area, visiting churches to raise funds for All Saints, Wilby.Grateful thanks to Guy who joined in this year and cycled to several churches including Hargham, West Harling and beyond, ending with Old Buckenham, before returning to sign in at Wilby.Thanks to Heather, who as in many previous years, was supporting the cyclists with cold drinks and refreshments, including her home-baked cake which was yummy!The Wilby 'Three Wheelers' also took to the roads, having had very little cycle practice and aimed for Wymondham Abbey, via Spooner Row. We were glad to take refreshments at the abbey and were impressed by their cycle parking facility. We cycled back via Carleton Rode for cold drinks at the Baptist Chapel - an exhausting 28.9 miles!Thank you to all those who sponsored Guy and the 3-wheelers.
On Saturday 16th March 2024, members of Wilby church community, met to plant snowdrops in a shady area of the churchyard. Some had been kindly donated from Wilby Hall and others were re-distributed from the bank behind the church. We look forward to a beautiful display of ‘Candlemas Bells’ in February next year.
Members of the 3 small parishes of Eccles, Wilby and Quidenham gathered for a Service of the Word this morning, led by Peter Lotarius. His address took us to the roots of Mothering Sunday, the tradition of returning to our "Mother Church" Posies created by ladies from Wilby, were handed out to all members of the congregation for distribution to their relatives and neighbours.
