In the light of Coronavirus restrictions, church events involving personal physical contact have been suspended. However, imaginative church members teamed up in June and July on a sponsored
“Great Virtual Journey to Bethlehem”
It’s about 3000 miles to Bethlehem and we sincerely appreciate the support of many family members and friends which enabled us to achieve our aim to travel that distance in the 2 months to 31 July 2020
This challenge encouraged participants to walk, run, skateboard, toddle, treadmill, row, roller skate, cycle, swim, or any other forward movement to enable the goal to be reached.
A team of 28 (with an age range of 2-74) accumulated 3800+ miles and may now (tongue-in-cheek) be travelling on to the east or perhaps on their virtual way home.
Massive thanks go to everyone who took part and all those who have sponsored the event.
More than £5000 has been raised to date primarily for the 2020Vision church building project and 20% of the total raised will be donated to the local branch of Parkinson’s UK.
