A Kilometre a Year May Run!
157years = 157Km
Closed but not closed!
During the month of May the Minister - Rev Sarah Ross (me) commits to running the equivalent of 5km every day during the month of May, a kilometre for each year of the current building. One of the first things I did in Blantyre Old was take the 150th anniversary service. (We are on our third building. Don’t think I could manage 453 km in one month!)
Though the Church building is closed for now, but we still have on going ministry reaching out with spiritual and practical help, repairs from the winter storms to do, staff on furlough, and so the money raised is to help cover costs and provide ministry across the parish and beyond. We would have held two fundraisers including the KiltWalk (April) and a summer fete (June) this year. So instead this is an opportunity to raise funds and to keep the Minister fit, never mind look after her mental health during lockdown. For avoidance of doubt 5k takes me about 28mins so counts as my daily exercise!
All support welcomed including Team Members!
