"O God, we entrust these pilgrims to your loving and merciful care. Support and guide them as they walk the pilgrim's way in your light and your Presence. Let your loving care enfold them, those who love them and those they leave behind.

In the name of God and of this congregation, I send you forth as pilgrims."




The pilgrimage to Iona had an official start today with a blessing in All Saints given by Fr. Geoffrey Hoare and a cookout at the the home of Nick and Kathy Roberts. After a year of planning the pilgrims will begin their journey to Iona, Scotland on Friday afternoon.
