Led by Fr. Marcus, we resurrected an ancient English tradition called “Beating the Bounds” on Sunday. Parishioners of all ages circled the property and prayed for God’s blessing and cleansing of our land and buildings. Children were especially enthusiastic in leading this with cowbells and pompoms, while singing ‘We’re beating the bounds, we claim this land for Jesus Christ, we’re beating the bounds!’
The tradition of ‘Beating the Bounds’ occurs during Rogation Days—the three days preceding Ascension Day, which is tomorrow!
