Christians believe that God showed his love for all humanity by sending his son Jesus into the world. Like all Christian Churches, the loving and saving work of Jesus Christ is central to our worship and learning. All Christians are on a journey as we discover more of God’s love, and yield more of our lives to him, so that we become like him. None of us are there yet!
Our Prayer for Pilgrims
Come as you are
…..and know that God loves you.
Come with your weaknesses
…..and know that you will not be judged.
Come with your strengths
…..and share what God has given you.
Come with your doubts, questions and fears
…..and know that you are welcomed.
Come hear the gospel
…..and know that you will be challenged.
Come searching to find the Lord who loves you
…..and know that you will be changed.
Come as you are
…..and let us walk together on the only journey that matters.
Scallop shells - an ancient symbol of pilgrimage
The scallop shell is an ancient symbol of pilgrimage, particularly to the cathedral of St. James. It had a practical purpose too, allowing fresh water to be sipped from streams along the way. Upon presentation of the shell at churches, castles, abbeys etc., the pilgrim could expect to be given as much sustenance as they could pick up with one scoop. We hope to provide you with what you need on your journey of faith.
