This is where we meet once each year on the first Sunday in July for our 'Family Gathering' when a special Service is held in Filby Church. Every third year we have our 'Reunion', which is a larger gathering when we are joined by many of our 'Filby' friends and relations from around the world. The next 'Triennial Reunion' will be on Sunday 4th July, 2010, when we will be celebrating our 14th reunion.

Association in 1977. These have recently been refurbished. The inscription below the altar kneeler reads "In memory of Ellsworth Lincoln Filby of Kansas City". Ellsworth was our founder.


 

Our 'Filby' Hymn.

 

From all over the world we come,

Happy to meet again.

Thy blessing lord on us we pray

On this, our Filby day.

 

Our grateful thanks for journeys done

For steps in safety trod.

Thy blessing lord on us we pray

On this, our Filby day.

 

The months and years have passed away

In sorrow, joy and hope.

Thy blessing lord on us we pray

On this, our Filby day.

 

Stretch forth Thy hand to absent friends,

In sickness or in need.

Thy blessing lord on us we pray

On this, our Filby day.
