Churches Together 2007 Walk Of Witness, Formby

AN estimated 2000 people attended the event that was to mark the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the Cross. The traditional walk of witness set off from the Formby Library car park and snaked its way around and into the village. Whereas in previous years the worship comprised a few hymns, prayers, and a sermon, this year’s service was accompanied by a fantastic visual interpretation of the sermon.

The guest speaker was Bishop Tom Williams and the opening prayers and peace were conducted by June McGibbon. Readings were given by Peter Connor and Jean Cox. Closing prayers were led by Janice Hill. The hymn singing was ably supported by a music group involving members of local churches.

The FCT would like to say:- “We would like to thank all the musicians, singers and children who took part in the sermon. And a big thank you has to Andy and his team for their PA system; also a massive thanks to out local police officers. Without these people, this event could not have been as big a success as it has been.”

After the service Holy Trinity Church served tea and coffee with Hot Cross Buns in their church workshop.
