On Good Friday morning, around 50 parishioners from the Christian churches in Costessey came together to take part in a Walk of Witness through the town.
Fr David Ward, parish priest of Our Lady & St Walstan, warmly welcomed everyone to the Costessey Centre, where he opened the gathering with a short reading and prayer.
Following this, the group processed through the heart of Old Costessey towards the Baptist Church on The Street, handing out palm crosses to members of the public along the way.
A half-hour service was then held, with representatives from all four local churches – Catholic, Baptist, Methodist and Anglican – sharing in the leadership. Afterwards, those attending enjoyed a time of fellowship over tea and coffee in the church hall.
The Walk of Witness was a moving demonstration of Christian unity and a public expression of faith during the most solemn time of the Church’s year.
