Members of the Team will also be taking part in some of our Church Services on both Sundays - the 25th September and the 2nd October.
Members of the team will be engaging with the community in different ways, walking in the footsteps of Jesus to bring the Gospel of peace to all.
They will be walking around our Parishes, clearly visible in their bright red Walk West Dorset sweatshirts so please say hello to them.
They may even be knocking on your door to ask you about your faith in a quite non-aggressive way. This will give you an opportunity to share with them your feelings about the Christian faith in the modern world.
The Bishop of Sherborne writes, “I am greatly looking forward to joining in Walk West Dorset and I encourage others to join us. A wonderful opportunity to share the good news informally with fun and celebration.”
