Shore to Shore 2022

Walking, praying and clearing the way!

Shore to Shore is a promenade with a purpose taking place during the 2022 summer holidays.  Journey with us along the north Wales coast as we walk, pray and clear the way! It’s exercise, it’s social, it’s a pilgrimage and it’s good for the environment!

We’re inviting anyone interested (walkers for health, environmental groups, dog walkers, tourists, intercessors) to share in one or more of these events. We shall chat as we walk, litter picking and stopping to pray at several pre-arranged locations.  Anyone not wishing to pray should be able to gather a bit more rubbish until we are all ready to move on.  Those not able to walk are invited to join us at any of the prayer points shown on the map for the day.

We hope that this might be accessible to most, but if you can’t come then do please still pray for the communities, the visitors, the local churches, the environment and the walkers.

Shore to Shore 2021

Read reflections from those taking part in Shore to Shore in the summer edition of Teulu Asaph.

Shore to Shore is a promenade with a purpose taking place every Monday for six weeks starting on 19th July at 1pm.  Journey with us from Talacre to Llandudno as we walk, pray and clear the way! It’s exercise, it’s social, it’s a pilgrimage and it’s good for the environment!

Four Mission Areas (Bryn a Môr, Aber-Morfa, Aled & Aberconwy) are working together on this as part of the developing St Asaph Coastal Strategy, inviting anyone interested (walkers for health, environmental groups, dog walkers, tourists, intercessors) to share in one or more of these events.

Travelling East to West we shall assemble and share out the litter grabbers and bin bags, but do please bring your own gloves.  We shall then, chat as we walk, litter picking and stopping to pray at several pre-arranged locations.  Anyone not wishing to pray should be able to gather a bit more rubbish until we are all ready to move on.  Those not able to walk are invited to join us at any of the prayer points shown on the map for the day and especially at the end when a prayer van will be on hand to encourage us with water and other spiritual refreshment.

We hope that this might be accessible to most, but if you can’t come then do please still pray for the communities, the visitors, the local churches, the environment and the walkers.
