... we have lots of opportunities for you as a community to engage and experience the cross together. Just last night one small group went through Stations of the Cross together, as families, and had a really amazing time. With 7 kids between the ages of three and seven they had their work cut out for them but it became a really beautiful picture of not just entrusting to a younger generation the beauty of the cross, but by doing it in community, it really spoke of kids who will carry this together.
They had many cool moments - when they got to the station with the coins, illustrating our betrayal of Jesus, and the question was asked “What are some things we make more important than Jesus?” one of the young boys said “lego” and later, as the families gathered around the cross, the kids shared their sins (kicking, not listening, etc) and they nailed them to the cross together. It was an amazing experience for all the families of really slowing down to approach Easter, in community, as more than just a Sunday experience.
