The Good Friday Walk between the churches is an old tradition around here that we are bringing back after several years’ absence. All are welcome to join some or all of it! At each church there will be a brief ‘station’ in the form of hearing part of the story of Good Friday along with a prayer and singing. We’re planning to arrive at the churches at the following times, so feel free to pick up the walk when you’re ready:
10:00am: St Augustine’s, East Hendred
10:45am: Holy Trinity, West Hendred
11:30am: Holy Trinity, Ardington
12:30pm: All Saints, Lockinge
The walking distance between each stop is around 1 mile, and the pace of the walk will be set to accommodate everyone, young and old. The stop at Ardington will include refreshments, and if the weather looks good then feel free to bring a picnic to enjoy at the last stop in Lockinge. Lifts back to your starting point may be possible – please ask.

We want to be a family-friendly church. We recognise that bringing your children to church is no mean feat. We welcome the sight and sound of children and young people among us. We ask every member of the congregation to take responsibility for creating a welcoming atmosphere. We recognise that how we do things may need to change in order to engage children, young people, and families in a way that reflects their contributions and needs.
