Join us

Get involved.

On Good Friday/Easter Saturday join us for a walk of solidarity with the people of Gaza as we call for an enduring ceasefire, for immediate humanitarian aid, for the release of all hostages (Both Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the Palestinian hostages held in the Israeli prisons) and an end to occupation so that a just-peace can begin.
Starting from Kingstone Church, we will walk prayerfully for 22 miles the distance from Gaza City to Rafah, 8 miles into Hereford on Good Friday (29th March – leaving Kingstone Church at 1pm) and 14 miles out to Tyberton Church on Easter Saturday (30th March – starting from the Cathedral at 9am). Join us for all of the pilgrimage, or along the way for a section of it. We will be stopping for water/comfort breaks/ prayer and rest along the way.
We are doing this prayerful walk as part of the Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage, a network of autonomous Christian groups with shared convictions who are engaging in a prayerful show of solidarity in cities around the world, where people during Lent will walk the length of theGazastrip.
We ask that people joining the pilgrimage commit to the following 8 convictions to be found here https://www.gazaceasefirepilgrimage.com/core-convictions
Details of various stopping places to come!
