This is a way of combining a gentle stroll with a quiet time to pray for people and organizations in our community and further afield. Each walk will last between an hour and an hour and a half. Some will be round the streets and estates; others will be on the outskirts of the town. For each walk, there will be a sheet with the route and topics for prayer and there will be frequent stops so we can pray together. However if you would like to do the walk at a different time, you can take the sheet and do the route at your own pace.

The first walk will be on Saturday January 19th starting from church at 2.00pm. We will be remaining in the Berry Lane/Kestor Lane and Recreation Ground area so if you aren’t sure and would like to have a taster, this would be an easy one to drop out of. On the first walk we will also discuss when the best times for future walks would be so if you want to join in but can’t make the first walk, please let me know.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Carol

There wasn’t a total deluge on Pentecost Sunday here in Longridge as had been predicted but at least, we were warned that outdoor activities might not be possible. Sadly therefore we were unable to put up the marquee and enjoy ‘Picnic in the Park’. A few brave souls ate their sandwiches in Christ Church Hall and wrestled with Carol’s origami symbols of a dove and a flame which were later used to illustrate the service. A few more joined us and we thoroughly enjoyed singing choruses ably led by Bernard Hunt on the guitar and then had a short service for Pentecost. Though few in numbers we represented all four of the Longridge churches and were able to give thanks that, whatever our differences, we are one in the Spirit.
