Good Friday, April 3, 2015
10:30 a.m. – Noon
Prayer Walk
Recognizing the brokenness of our world and the need for Christians to come together in our community, the Ministers in the Canton Area Ministerial Association will lead members of the community through a prayer walk on the same route previously used for the Procession of the Cross. At specific stops, members who have gathered will enter into prayer for the businesses, schools, and churches located in the surrounding area. The cross will travel with us as a reminder of our brokenness in humanity and the restoration that happens through our relationship with Christ.
