The communities of Eastern and Western Michigan are invited to join our local chapter of Holy Hikes Great Lakes (a bi-diocesan ministry!) for worship, fellowship, and fun in 2024. In 2024, we'll take on six hikes throughout the lower peninsula, from April through November. Our Holy Hikes are like liturgy on the move -- we will be hiking and praying along the way, hearing scripture and learning about God's creation.
All hiking sites have been carefully selected to be rated "easy" treks to ensure access for all generations and most mobilities. We expect to spend about 90 minutes on the trail, including time both hiking and stopping for prayer and reflection. We end each hike with trailside fellowship! In the case of heavy rain, the date will be rescheduled.
Please read below to learn all about the 2024 season, including dates and locations, to learn how your congregation can support a nearby hike, and to learn about the church-wide Holy Hikes member network. While it'll be a while before we see warmer temperatures, we want to make sure you have the information early to plan ahead to join us as individuals or as organized groups from your local faith community. We ask that all participants RSVP so we know how many to expect and so that we can be in touch with more specific directions to the trailhead and in case of inclement weather.

ABOUT HOLY HIKES
Holy Hikes is a church-wide eco-ministry network affiliated with the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Communion, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. It was developed with the goal of helping individuals be renewed in their relationship with the earth, the Church, and the Creator. Holy Hikes calls us beyond the walls of comfort, to take a step (or a hike!) towards reunion with the earth and all of its life and beauty.
