The faithful are invited to participate in the Good Friday, “Walk of the Cross” in Almonte; an annual event that will see those taking part carry a cross along the following route: From the Old Town Hall (representing Cornerstone Community Church) to Holy Name of Mary Church; from Holy Name of Mary Church to the John Levi Community Centre (representing Hillside Reformed Presbyterian Church); from the John Levi Community Centre to Almonte United Church; from Almonte United Church to the Community Presbyterian Church, and from the Community Presbyterian Church to Almonte Baptist Church and then on to St. Paul’s Anglican Church.
There are stops along the route for short scriptural readings. A service and light refreshments will be available afterwards at Cornerstone Community Church.
The Walk of the Cross begins at Noon. The event takes about ninety minutes, but people are welcome to come and go as they wish. Almonte and the surrounding community are encouraged to come and experience this truly Easter celebration.
