Diocese
Walking with Jesus and His Friends Canon Ann Philp is offering Quiet Days at Sarum College during Holy Week. Over three days we will accompany Jesus alongside his friends as they accompany him to the cross and ask ‘Where do we find ourselves on this journey?’ We will enter into the experience through Bible study and art, music and poetry. Each day will open with prayer and Bible Study at 10am (day participants arrive from 9.30am). There will be reflections at 12pm and 2pm. Tea will be available from 3.30pm and we will end with a short reflection at 4pm. Further details available on the Sarum College website www.sarum.ac.uk or Canon Ann Philp 01722 555178.

Pilgrimage through Holy Week 2018
As you may remember, in previous years I have undertaken a personal, yet not private, pilgrimage through the final weeks and days of Lent as we in the Nadder valley prepare for Good Friday and Easter. In 2016 there were silent services in all our churches. Last year, I visited almost every church for a service of Compline. This year the itinerary will be a little different again. Revd. Jo Naish will join me as we celebrate services across the Benefice, and we will be walking between a number of the churches.
Would you like to join us? I hope so, all would be very welcome, including well behaved dogs!
This is the itinerary, which will take in churches’ regular times for weekday worship.
