Dear Friends,
This month I will be participating in my third Lordsbridge Pilgrimage walk! I am very much looking forward to re-visiting all the churches in the Team, and to chatting with my fellow pilgrims enroute. This year we are trying a new route and will be starting at Childerley Hall at 8am and ending in Haslingfield at approximately 5:30pm (after various stop offs and lunch in the beautiful gardens of the Old Rectory in Caldecote at about 2pm!) 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!
God Bless,
Clare
