Don’t forget the Good Friday Church Crawl tomorrow (Friday 30th March), from 10.30 a.m. onwards.
This is an opportunity to explore different Christian traditions (from crafts to liturgical worship, from film interpretations of the Crucifixion to live theatre productions, from music to icons representing the journey of Jesus to the cross) and also to witness to our communities of the hope we have in Jesus Christ and to communicate the joy and generosity of our Lord through the giving of gifts. As we walk from church to church – itself a march of witness as we wear our yellow sashes and give out chocolate eggs (symbolising new life), and daffodils (a sign of God’s wonderful spring life) along with literature about Easter, we are testifying to the fact that there is one church, however many buildings we represent! Please do join with us in this wonderful expression of unity, exploration and faith.

- 10.30 a.m. Service at Furlong Road Methodist Church (Bolton-on-Dearne)
