Dear Friends,
There is something incredibly spiritual about walking with friends – and making new ones along the way. Later in the month I will be leading our annual Lordsbridge Pilgrimage walk, on Friday 17 May, starting at 7:30am in Coton! I am very much looking forward to visiting all the churches in the Team again, and to chatting with my fellow pilgrims enroute. Please do join us if you can, even if it’s just for a short stretch, or to welcome us home to Dry Drayton, where the Pilgrimage ends with a short service of Evening Prayer at approximately 6pm. People go on pilgrimage for as many reasons as there are pilgrims! For Christians, going on pilgrimage involves a search for a deeper spirituality and for a closer connection to God. It is also a great adventure, with the chance to meet new people and to see new places. To set aside time for God and feel closer to Him; to discern His will and guidance; and to be strengthened in faith. Going on pilgrimage can give us a new sense of awareness and wonder. Or result in a greater sense of our life’s purpose. Pilgrimage helps us to focus on ‘what really matters’ and to rediscover the joy of giving and generosity. I look forward to seeing you along the way!
