Parish communion.

Holy communion using the Book of common Prayer - this is a spoken service.

A Pilgrimage of Peace is encourages you to find peace in our beautiful countryside. As you walk, you’ll be encouraged by a variety of readings, silence and mindfulness, all led by Reverend Andrew Rawding. You’ll listen to your own breath, to take note of the effort of each step, hear any birds, notice the earth, the grass, any clouds or trees, feel the breeze, and (hopefully) feel the warmth of the sun. You’ll feel the resistance of gravity and be able to reflect on what you might let go of; what you could change in your life to know more peace. It will be an opportunity to live in the moment of each step, in communion with the beauty of creation.

The walk will be 5km on footpaths and bridle ways but fairly rough and “up and down” with a bit of track and 1/2 mile on Chalk Pit Lane above Litton Cheney. It will last approximately 90 minutes with time to pause.
There will be tea and a biscuit at the end before the service at Chilcombe which starts at 6.30pm!
Bring stout shoes, maybe a stick and some water. Dogs on leads please.
(You don’t have to stay to the service at Chilcombe, but it will be a lovely Evensong....and if you haven’t visited Chilcombe Church, it’s a great chance to find out what makes it special!)

This small and friendly group meets regularly to practise Christian contemplative prayer and meditation together.
Come as a visitor or a regular attendee.
Coffee will be served at the end, around 11am.
