Join Our ‘Pilgrimage of Peace’
This Palm Sunday, 13th April, we invite you to a reflective 2-mile circular walk from St Nicholas Church, Abbotsbury, starting at 2:30pm.
Together, we’ll journey to St Catherine’s Chapel and back, pausing along the way for peaceful readings, songs, and mindfulness practices. Walking in silence through nature, we’ll embrace the present moment, listening to our breath, feeling the world around us, and reflecting on ways to bring peace into our lives and communities.
At St Catherine’s Chapel, we’ll offer prayers for peace and gratitude for life’s gifts. As we return, palm crosses will remind us of the message of sacrificial love and humility—the power of peace over selfishness.
Come walk with us, breathe in peace, and share it with the world.

Join Reverend Margaret on zoom for a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day.

Starting at Holy Trinity, Swyre, at 10am, this will be a 'there and back' walk, with stops for reflection and prayers. After Swyre, the walk continues to Puncknowle - at approximately 10.30am at the church - and then on to Litton Cheney - for about 11.30am. The White Horse Pub might make an excellent coffee stop! You can join the walk for as much or as little as you would like but we anticipate the whole walk taking approximately 3 hours. You'll need stout walking shoes as some of the paths cross fields. Dogs on leads are welcome to come too.

Not all our churches have a service on Easter Sunday - but lots do, so please have a look at this list and come along to join us at one of these services. You will be made very welcome!
