Stations of the Cross
Saturday, April 3rd, 6:00pm to 6:00am, Sunday, April 4th
Stations of the Cross -- sometimes called Way of the Cross -- is a popular Lenten devotion that has very ancient roots. It was prayed by early Christian communities, especially in the fourth century, when the Roman Empire began to recognize Christianity. Oftentimes, people would make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to retrace Jesus' steps from his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane to being forced to carry the cross to the crucifixion site at Golgotha.
This year we will have the opportunity to profess our faith by walking and praying the Stations of the Cross the night before Easter. “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”(Luke 9:23)
You are welcome to come and take this walk – stopping at each station for prayer and meditation. This can be a moving experience for individuals or families. Please plan to prayerfully participate in this very personal walk with Jesus by signing up for a particular hour. Email Kim or stop by the counter in front of the office on Sunday morning to sign up.
