What's on

Walk of Witness

Occuring
for 1 hour
Venue
Starts from St Mary's Church, Lynton
Address
Starts from St Mary's Church, Lynton

The Sisters of Mary Morning Star would like to invite you to join them for the Walk of Witness on Friday 29th March in Lynton. This is a traditional Christian walk, on Good Friday, following the way of the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

This year, they will start at St Mary’s Church at 9am, and from there they will walk up to Hollerday Hill together. It is a very slow walk, stopping often, to pray, sing, contemplate Jesus and following him step by step as he carries his Cross.

Everyone is most welcome to join us for part, or the whole of the walk, which will finish in the convent garden.

We will be praying for the needs of the world, for you, and your intentions.

The Bishop of Crediton is pleased to announce that, subject to the completion of the statutory formalities, the Rev’d Miles Welborn has been appointed as Rector of the Lyn Valley Mission Community, Diocese of Exeter.
