In honor of approaching Holy Week, a group of folks gathered to create crosses after worship last Sunday at my internship. One of the church’s members is a wood-worker so he and his wife made a bunch of wood crosses from scrap wood. They brought all sorts of art supplies for us to use to decorate the handmade crosses. We had a beautiful time of fellowship with each other. We flexed our creative muscles as we reflected on the cross, Christ's boundary-breaking ministry, and his brutal death that saved all of us from our sins. What a wonderful experience, especially because I had just preached a sermon on Philippians 2:1-11!

March 2024
As part of Lent, my husband and I have read a devotional or prayer from Cole Arthur Riley’s book "Black Liturgies: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations for Staying Human" a few times each week. If you have not heard of this book, I’d highly recommend you check it out from your local library or purchase it. It’s a beautiful book of prayers, devotionals, and thought-provoking messages all based in Scripture. My Confirmation Mentor (from 2008) bought the book for me as a gift (isn't that neat?!).
After our Cross-Making Workshop
A few of our crosses.
