Ilkeston - The Annual Walk Of Witness
w/e 05 April 2026
All of this week's pictures were
taken with a Nikon D3300 camera..
The Good Friday Walk Of Witness this year began with a short
service in the United Reformed Church.
|
The congregation then exited the church to gather on the wide
pavement on Wharncliffe Road before starting the walk to St Andrew's
Methodist Church.
|
The walk followed the familiar route through the Market Place
and down Bath Street.
|
There were two stops on the walk, the first being on the Lower
Market Place outside The Observatory, a Wetherspoon's pub.
|
Two hymns were sung a cappella and prayers were said.
|
The walk then continued down Bath Street to the second stop
outside the NatWest Bank.
|
More prayers were said and hymns sung at this second pause
on the walk.
|
Following the cross the route then continued down Bath Street.
|
The event was well attended again by Christians representing
churches throughout the town - and beyond - and walking two by
two the procession stretched a good way up Bath Street.
|
Turning into Wilmot Street the
walkers entered St Andrew's Church where another short service
brought the Good Friday Walk of Witness to a conclusion. The
story doesn't end there though as the Easter story continues
on Easter Sunday with a Dawn Service at the Dale Abbey Arch and
services in all the churches to celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus.
