The variety of Christian congregations together proclaimed and demonstrated the essential truths of our faith, boldly proclaim that ‘we are not ashamed of the gospel - it is the power of God to everyone who believes’.
Up to 100 people met for a brief service led by Rev. Kevin Newton in the Baptist Church.
This was followed by a procession, for about an hour, around the centre of the town concluding in the Market Place.

During The Walk of Witness the procession stopped five times to pray, sing and read the scriptures together. A cross with a ‘crown of thorns’ was carried at the head of the procession.

Matt McChlery, of Wisbech Churches Together, said: “It was well attended (around 100 people) and was a strong display of the unity amongst the Wisbech churches as we shared the Easter story with others from our community.”
Many participants took the opportunity to share their faith by distributing hundreds of small leaflets that simply portrayed the gospel using four stark graphic signs and relevant scriptures.
