Journey back to church

Journey back to church together - 17th July  


Welcome back to St Mary Redcliffe. Whether you've been worshipping in church, online, or in your own way over the last year or so, we are making our way towards coming back together in church. We are marking this stage on the journey with a pilgrimage through the church. 


You will have the opportunity to reflect prayerfully on all we have lost, on how God has sustained us, and on what we rejoice in. You can pray quietly in the church and light a candle.  And, if you'd like to, you can reconnect with old friends over a tea or coffee at the end. All of this is suitable for adults and children alike, with interactive prayer activities to suit a range of needs and preferences. 


We're keeping it COVID-secure, as we know coming back is a big step for some of you, and we need to continue to do our best to keep each other safe. So we're having timed slots for a staggered start, with just a small group on each step of the pilgrimage at any time. 


If you know someone who might be feeling anxious about coming back to church after a long break, why not invite them to come with you? This is a really gentle, prayerful way to come back to church after all that has happened, and it's important that as many of us as possible make this journey together.


Please use the booking form here to book your time slot. 


If you have any questions or queries about our pilgrimage, please get in touch.


Every blessing,

Kat

Wessex Archaeology has been on site this week to begin the first phase of the archaeological work on the north side of the church – in the area between the boiler room and car park - to investigate the potential for embedding ground plant associated with Air Source Heat Pumps in the churchyard.
