Final Pilgrimage Weekend – Join Us

Posted on April 10, 2015 by Jay O'Hara

Dear Friends,

As we write tonight, the Pipeline Pilgrimage has traversed 119 miles from Pittsfield, MA, to Milford, NH. We have had over 100 people walk with us over the past 9 days; we have been graced by an abundance of delicious food and warm places to stay; and we have had people all along – including the media – notice that we’re doing something very different.

While we have bandaged feet and tired bodies, our spirits have been moved by the journey, the contemplation and the people we have met. Our daily worship and reflections continue to be inspired, and there seems evidence of the Spirit at work in all of us.

This weekend we will finish our pilgrimage by walking to Dracut and we would love to share the final few miles of our journey with you as we place one foot in front of the other on this journey of faith.

You can join for a few hours, for a day or for as long as you are able. If you need a ride from public transit, call or text 607-592-9328. We will also be able to provide shuttles back to your car where you join the pilgrimage for the day.

Schedule:
Saturday, April 11
8:00 a.m. Gathering at First Church of Nashua, 1 Concord St, Nashua, NH 03063
Walk Distance: 9 miles
End Point: First Congregational Church, 3 Main St, Pelham, NH

Sunday, April 12
8:00 a.m. Gathering at First Congregational Church, 3 Main St, Pelham, NH

We hope to see you this weekend.

Love and Faith,

Jay and Meg

GM Jay, Meg, Pat and Pilgrims. I will be joining you Saturday evening. I’ll try to be in Pelham early enough to help the Hosts @ the church. I’d like to join you somewhere along the march closer to Pelham if possible. Know anyone from Deerfield, Greenfield, MOntague, Northfield, MA or NH towns along march route etc. wanting to ride with me? As long as it is close to march route I can do. Company would be great, too. Never-the-less, I will see you all Saturday in Pelham to stay for march to Dracut, MA. Thank you. Nan

  Hi Meg, Jay, and All,
  
  Ginger and I will join you Sunday morning in Pelham and then for the last miles. If the 8am worship meeting might be a little later than 8am, we would love to know, as then maybe we could leave a little later than 5am(!) In any event, we’re excited to be seeing you all again and grateful for your whole undertaking!

    Paul, so you know we’ll be leaving the church at 930, so any time you can make it before that would be great!

Hi Meg and Jay and All,

Ginger and I will join you in Pelham for the last miles. If you think the worship might start later than 8, we’d love to learn that, since we could get up just a little bit later than 5, maybe(!)

Nan, Thanks for the offer ofa ride! We would be happy to join you in Winchester, NH, but it seems we will need to take our own vehicle instead. Will be in touch to clarify.

Paul Dobbs
