Our fourth Lenten soup and bread supper will be held this Wednesday with fellowship at 6 p.m. and supper at 6:30 p.m. Our clergy will lead us in “Stations of the Cross.” Jesus stated, “If any want to be my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
The devotion of walking with the Stations of the Cross dates back to the earliest centuries of the church. Immediately following Jesus’ death and resurrection many people had the desire to walk the land where Jesus lived and to trace his path as he carried his cross from Pilate’s house to Golgotha and finally ending in the grave. However, as time passed people were unable to get to Jerusalem, therefore a devotion of walking the way of the Cross based on the scriptures was created. Fortunately for us, we too, can walk the path of Christ this Lenten season using prayer, images, and an open heart.
