Walking the way of the cross

Lent is a time of preparing, Easter is a time of celebration. This is a time to find ways to come together, to be a part of our communities and to share a story of real hope.

​This year why not draw together different areas of your ministry to share in an incredible story of despair and hope intertwined? This resource allows you to take as much or as little as you need and gives you permission to adapt to your own context.

​We have been inspired by a book called 'Walking the way of the cross' by Stephen Cottrell, Paula Gooder and Philip North. It is a book of prayers and reflections following the journey to the cross.
