On Saturday 10th September, people from near and far gathered at All saints, to visit the church and to see the local art displayed, along with some beautiful floral arrangements.In memory of HM The Queen, a Book of Condolence was opened on the day.We gathered throughout the day, along with visitors who were on the Norfolk Churches' Trust cycle ride, providing a mix of people from various parts of the area. Refreshments with homemade cakes were available until the 3pm Grand Art Draw took place. Anna won the original painting donated by David Kerr.The aim of the event was to raise money for the Chancel Roof Repair Fund. Over £1040 was raised.
On Sunday 24th July, several members of the parish met at the church to create a very special video. Ranging from musicians, to those who care for the fabric, we all had an opportunity to be filmed saying why the church means so much to us. The film captured young people associated with our congregation as well as older members who have provided support for many years. We look forward to seeing the completed video.UPDATE! From across the whole of the UK, All Saints Wilby was shortlisted, along with 3 other churches and subsequently received a majority vote from the 'Friends of the National Churches Trust'. This led to us being presented with the Friends Vote award and a grant of £10,000 towards our major repairs.
