Last year

This year, we look forward to getting together again.
We are delighted to be able to gather once again in our city centre to be a United voice and to share the gospel message.
There will be live worship and an opportunity for us to pray together and give thanks.
Join us for an 11 am start, for about an hour near the town sign.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Processions

Six Processions start at outlying churches in different areas of the City and stop en-route at various points to pray and praise, whilst others, from different churches join in. The six Processions eventually become three groups, and each, led by one of the participants carrying a large cross arrive in the city centre. Do walk in to join us from your part of the city.

The Afternoon

For some years we have wondered if our Good Friday gathering creates an additional opportunity to share the Good news of Easter. We have permission to use the space for the whole day, we have staging and speakers and a great sound man (hi Steve!) and more importantly We have an amazing message: ‘Jesus Saves’.
We aim to play some great Christian based music, share some testimonies even provide a free bbq taster… all with aim of sharing the love of Jesus with those visiting the city centre that afternoon. If you would like to get involved in serving for this event please contact: Pete Bardwell (organiser) Petebardwell@theriver.uk.
