Good Friday is the day when Christians remember the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a sombre day. Usually, churches meet, pray and reflect on the sacrifice Jesus willingly paid for all our sins.

Many churches take part in a Walk of Witness. Churches gather (often with other local Christian denominations) to walk through the streets of their locality together. They do this to remember that Jesus had to carry his cross publicly through the streets of Jerusalem. It is a public statement of their faith, a retelling of the crucifixion story and a reminder of Jesus’ words in Matthew 16 verse 24: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'
Join the walk

For those wishing to get a bit of fresh air and exercise (possibly also a little wet), please join us at the junction of Highfield Park & Victoria Road at 10am for the Walk of Witness. There will be opportunities to sing some hymns, listen to poems and readings and finish with a warm hot cross bun and tea & coffee back at St Mary's Church Centre.
