God is good - We made it!

Dear All Saints and St Marys

We made it! Tired feet, sore muscles, blisters and a few bramble scratches - some amazing sunshine, and moments of torrential rain - but this Friday a group of 10 young ( and a few not so young) pilgrims made it to Bristol Cathedral. We walked 55 miles from Swindon to Bristol Cathedral and we have had a good journey. I am heart stoppingly proud of the young people who have held each other when they needed to and cheered each other along the way with conversations, prayer, food, more food and a mountain of chocolate. They have been amazing.

You have all been with us - your generosity and kindness have enabled us to do this - from pit stop butchers sausage rolls in Cricklade to an incredible well needed pub dinner in Sherston. Thank you - it made such a difference, and we prayed for you along the way with thanksgiving in our hearts. We met some incredible people, whose hospitality matched yours, from fresh milk and hot meals from the farming community in Brinkworth to cake at Malmesbury Abbey. Everywhere we went people blessed us, God blessed us and I know we also blessed them in our journey. Thank you. I am sure you will hear stories from this week for years to come that will continue to bless us all. God is Good.
