SPONSORED WALK FOR CHRISTIAN AID
​
​
On Saturday April 28th a group of eight of us successfully completed the “Circle the City” sponsored walk in Manchester for Christian Aid.
The walk was designed to explore and experience the worship history of Manchester by visiting different churches. The weather forecast had been off-putting but we were fortunate not to get soaked as we avoided the worst of the rain.
The event began with a short presentation about the work of Christian Aid, songs and prayers in Manchester Cathedral at 11.30am, after which we set off around the city centre.
ore about our day.
En route we called at Methodist Central Hall, passed through Chinatown, viewed the Emmeline Pankhurst Statue in St Peter’s Square, then via The Central Library to the Friends Meeting House, followed by the St Mary’s Hidden Gem Church, Cross Street Unitarian Chapel and we finished at St Ann’s Church by 4pm. Refreshments were served at several of the venues.
Highlights included a short but lively talk about Sierra Leone at the Methodist Central Hall, the Hidden Gem artistry and a talk/tour of Cross St. Chapel.
​
This was the first time in Manchester for this enjoyable and interesting event and we would certainly encourage others to participate should it happen again in 2020.
