Ride + Stride
St James the Great, Westerleigh
Saturday 14th September deserves to be highlighted in your
diary: churches throughout Gloucestershire, Bristol and beyond will be opening their doors to welcome visitors on the annual Ride+Stride fundraising pilgrimage.
You can choose your own route to walk, cycle or drive and visit places of worship of many denominations, or you can join a parish group for a walk of 2 to 8 miles (transport options available).
In either case, please collect a sponsorship form from your church, and a Pilgrim Log to record the places you visit, and ask your friends, colleagues and family to sponsor you. All money collected will be passed on to Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust to help fund repair and enhancement projects in the region’s churches. Part of the money raised by each church will be returned for local use.
St James in Westerleigh will be holding its final village breakfast of the year on the same date, with all monies raised going to GHCT.
Walk details will be published in August with posters in each of our churches.
