Supporting Unlock.. Annual sponsored walk April 25th

Ok this is a bit of a long journey for us Northerners but Unlock does such great work... a lot of in the North of England... If you can't make this as a day out at least you can donate to the cause, and use their materials in your churches
 
 
 
The 2015 London Walk is being planned as a tribute to Bishop Peter Hall, and so we are returning to Bermondsey, Lewisham and Deptford which were part of his patch when he served as Bishop of Woolwich.  The walk will be linear, very roughly an elongated Z shape, with the ends connected by the 47 bus route which also serves various points along the way.  The walk route takes us across lock gates, through a riverside farm and by lots of green places.  We pass through some imaginative redevelopment in the Rotherhithe docks area, and there's water and views as we follow part of the Thames Path.  Some of the checkpoints are ones we have used on earlier walks; others are new this time, such as the Norwegian Church with which Peter had warm relations.
 

Unlock is a Christian charity that was founded in 1972. It exists to help urban churches of any denomination to respond to the challenges in their areas. We are especially concerned with Bible engagement in 'traditional tabloid' ('non-book', 'oral learners', or 'text-shy') cultures.

What do we do?

As well as deploying our team of workers, we publish a variety of group Bible study packs, games, Lent courses and audit materials and provide training. 'Unlock more than you think' and 'Unlock DIY' will give you more ideas about using Unlock's methods.
