Traditional Rogation Services can involve a walk around the village or neighbourhood with stops at the river, meadow, farm, a garden and church with a hymn, reading and prayer at each. It is a day when the "real" world is linked more closely to the service.
Such services are usually organised by the Anglican church but other denominations join in locally
Here is a list of such events this year. Do tell us if you are holding one.
