2007 Good Friday Ecumenical Walk of witness

1000 o'clock came and we gathered at the war memorial to join in once again the Billinghay Walk of Witness. A silent procession through the village, interspersed with Bible readings about Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion and prayers... An affirmation: of our faith, and the true meaning of the Easter celebration for the Church.
There was a slight variation this year, as we stopped by the doctor's surgery which burnt down the day before... A prayer was said for those who work there, for their dedication to the community and time they were going to have to put in over the Easter weekend to help set up an emergency surgery in the village hall.
News of the walk must be spreading as we had circa 50 witnesses this year, more and more joining in each year since we started three years ago.
Refreshments in the hall gave the opportunity for a good chat and the children went over to the church to hear the Easter story in a child friendly version as well as help build the Easter garden ready for Sunday.
