The annual Andover Good Friday Walk will be held in Andover on Friday, March 29 at 8:30 a.m.

“This walk has been held for 20 years and invites all townspeople to join in praying for Andover,” according to organizers.

The walk will commence from St. Augustine Church on Essex Street, down the hill toward the train tracks from Memorial Hall Library. Coffee, orange juice and hot cross buns will be served starting at 8:15. The walk is about two hours long, stopping at eight prayer points.

Clergy from Andover Baptist, Ballardvale United, Christ Church, Free Christian, St. Augustine, St. Roberts and South Church will lead prayers for peace in the world, our schools, veterans, government, elderly, fire and police departments, and for the churches of the town, according to organizers.
