The Revd Yvonne Callaghan (pictured right), Area Dean of Richmond, the most northerly deanery in the diocese – and one of the largest – will spend nine days between Ascension and Pentecost walking the deanery and praying for God’s Kingdom.
Accompanying Yvonne on the 120 mile walk will be her PA, Diana, and they will be regularly updating friends and supporters on Facebook.
“The aim of the walk is to pray for God’s Kingdom to come among us in our communities”, says Yvonne. “Diana and I will walk each day and if anyone wants to join us please do. For updated times of departures etc., please look at the web site or our Facebook Page.”
