Join GATHER Church at Easter – 11am Saturday 30th March, Gainford Green

Embark on a journey with GATHER church this Saturday, the 30th of March, as we travel the picturesque path from Gainford Green to Gainford Spa.

Join us at 11am for a soul-stirring pilgrimage through lush countryside and tranquil landscapes. As we tread along this historic route which St Cuthbert was once brought, we’ll pause to reflect on the significance of Easter and the renewal it brings. This pilgrimage offers a bit of physical exercise and a rain jacket may be recommended, but also shall give a chance to rejuvenate the mind and spirit amidst nature. Whether you seek solace, companionship, or simply a serene stroll, all are welcome to join this communal celebration of faith and fellowship.
