The Way of the Cross

Jesus said, "take up your cross and follow me."  This season, we are focusing on the cross and the importance of its symbol to our Christian journey.  The way of the cross is about sacrifice and choosing to do for others instead of for ourselves.  

Members of the congregation were invited to bring in crosses that are important to them for this display in front of our communion table.  There are crosses that we wear on jewelry, crosses that depict the Last Supper, crosses that inspire us, crosses that remind us of the pain of the crucifixion.  Seeing these crosses each week during Lent directs our focus to a life of discipleship marked by service and sacrifice.  

We hope that by Palm Sunday, the table will be overflowing with crosses that represent our faith and our shared Lenten journey as a community.
