Almonte’s Walk of the Cross will once again take place starting at noon on Good Friday, April 3, and follow a safe and enjoyable route to various central sites and churches.
A cross will be carried, and short readings and the Scripture telling the story of Christ’s crucifixion will be read at each stop. The walk is an ecumenical gathering of Almonte’s Christian community that began in 2010 and is hosted each year by one of the local churches.
This year, the walk will begin (12 noon, sharp) by gathering outside Almont Baptist Church. From there, we will walk to the Community Presbyterian Church.
The route will proceed to Almonte United Church and then on to Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church. We will continue to James Naismith Square, where the cross and readings will be presented by Hillside Reformed Presbyterian Church, followed by a visit to the steps of the Old Town Hall, where Cornerstone Community Church will lead. Finally, we will cross the front bridge to St. Paul’s Anglican Church, where the walk will end with a short time of personal meditation followed by refreshments.
The whole event takes about an hour-and-a-half, but people are welcome to come and go, as they are able.
All of Almonte and the surrounding community are welcome and encouraged to come and experience this Easter event.
