Pilgrimage Practices

Tonight at Digestion we started the theme of Pilgrimage, thinking about our journey with God and going to Eastercamp.















Here are 3 ways you can practice pilgrimage over the next 5 weeks!

1. Go for a walk each day for the next 5 weeks. As you walk, pray the same pilgrim prayer. See what you learn.

God be with me in every pass
Jesus be with me on every hill
Spirit be with me in every stream
Each step of the journey I goest

2. Go to Easter camp.

3. Do an internet pilgrimage. Go to http://www.labyrinth.org.uk twice a week for the next 6 weeks.
