Good Friday 2012 Walk of Witness
The churches in Barry joined together for an Easter Walk of
Witness. Commencing at the Parade Gardens, The Knap, over 200
people took up the call to walk to proclaim their witness to the
Lord. Leading the devotions was the Archbishop of Wales, Barry
Morgan with the ministers and members of the various churches in
Barry taking part with readings and prayers. The stops were at
Barry Railway Station, The One Stop in Broad Street, A. G. Adams
Funeral Directors in Gladstone Road, King's Square, Holton Road and
New Jerusalem Church, Tynewydd Road. When we arrived at King's
Square we were joined by another 50 or more people plus the
Salvation Army Band who accompanied us as we sang "When I survey the
wondrous cross". It was good to have the support of local
dignitaries and our MP, Alan Cairns and AM, Jane Hutt. The
pictures below show the cover of the Order of Service, Assembly at
the Parade Gardens, the stop at Barry Station, leaving Barry
Station, the stop at A. G. Adams, Salem Secretary, Tom Lafford and Minister, Rev.

College] from the One-Stop through Broad Street and Holton Road to
King's Square, and the crowds at King's Square.
