Pilgrimage

Pilgrimage - is a journey to a significant place where our hearts and minds are set on encountering God through all we experience. A pilgrimage asks us to leave behind what is familiar and go out into the unknown, trying to let go of what burdens we might carry in life.
As we take our first few steps, we breathe in God’s life giving spirit and so our journey begins.

Day - On our day pilgrimages for example, we will visit various places where we might see God through art, nature, churches and people. There will be led prayers and time to reflect. We usually travel by train or coach, and there is some walking involved.

Stay away - On longer pilgrimages we will travel and stay in various accommodation, from hotels, to private houses and B & B’s. We will follow a recognised or created pilgrimage route, for 2-7 days and each day will have led times of worship and prayer as we meet various people in the churches along the way.
