Walk West Dorset - The Vision
The vision of a faith-sharing Walk in West Dorset started in earnest at a meeting in Charmouth in mid February 2009. Representatives from Weymouth, Maiden Newton, Charmouth and Lyme Regis churches heard Rev'd Daniel Cozens and Rev'd John Hibberd from Through Faith Missions explain how effective a walk can be.
The walk is a mission and the walking is principally about getting out from our churches into the communities and sharing the Good News of Jesus. The mission area covers Dorchester, Maiden Newton, Beaminster, Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Bridport, Burton Bradstock, Abbotsbury and finally Weymouth and Portland. The walk will take place from Saturday 17 Sept until Sunday 2 Oct 2011.

Thank you to all from TFM who have taken part in this adventure of faith. The vision is being fulfilled; the seed has been scattered and the fruit will come forth.
Also, a warm thank you to all the participating churches in being so welcoming and hospitable.
The teams are tired but joyful: they have seen many blessings. Some blessings, however, will be unseen known only unto God; seeds have been sown on good soil. Thank you for your time, love and energy in sharing your faith throughout West Dorset. A deposit of God's grace is left in the wake of this mission and the spiritual boundaries have been reset.
Finally we thank the Adhelms Mission Fund Group for their generous support.
