The Archbishop of York is marking the start of the Tour de Yorkshire by hosting a three day mission in the region.
The race which is in its third year has seen thousands line the streets to see the sport's elite riders take on the Yorkshire course.
It started on Friday morning in the town of Bridlington with a route through the Yorkshire Wolds and Moors before finishing in Scarborough.
Among those at the start was Dr John Sentamu. He's working with local churches to reach out to those attending.
Speaking to Premier, Rev Richard Hare from Emmanuel Church in Bridlington said: "He'll be chatting to children taking part in an advance race and will be around talking to the crowd.
"We've got a whole lot of other events lined up over these three days for him to meet people and share the Gospel, and it's going to be really good."
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
