Good friday - Walk of witness




Our 2nd walk of witness , this year was led by Bishop Cyril. We had some 90 people there. We started at St Bart's, where the salvation army led us in our first song. We then walked to the Salvation Army, had a short time of prayer and another song. We then walked to the healthy living centre and did the same. We finished at St Stephen's with a short address by the bish and hot cross bunbs and drinks. It was a lovely day. It was good to remember the journy of Christ with others and try to understand what Jesus did for us.

Living Water flows in a Langsett pub in the run-up to Easter


For many people Easter is all about Easter eggs and treats, but over the Easter period, We made Easter relevant to the community with a special Holy Week event at the local pub. Opening with a pie and pea supper, the event centred around one simple discussion: Do we need the church?, raised questions about the relevance of Christianity in the 21st century. The Bishop of Doncaster, the Rt Revd Cyril Ashton was a special guest at the event which took place at the Hillsborough Hotel and saw some 30 or so locals (both churched and un-churched) turn up to voice their opinion, take part in the engaging discussion and have a sip of the 'Living Water' beer specially brewed by the hotel landlord for the occasion.
