Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross began as a remembrance that pilgrims had when they were retracing Jesus’ final steps in Jerusalem up to the hill where He was crucified. Wanting to share that practice and experience with people who couldn’t make the trip to Jerusalem, they created local stations of meditation that became in itself a tradition.
These stations are a cross-section of elements, ideas, and objects from Jesus’ journey to the cross.

Good Friday
Jesus humbly came to take the wrath we deserved. The Roman soldiers mocked Jesus, telling him to save himself while he hung on the cross. Jesus sacrificed his own life to save us. He suffered for the very people who were nailing him to the cross. Jesus took our punishment so we could enter his kingdom.

Easter Sunday
The tomb was empty! Jesus was risen from the dead, defeating the enemy, and giving us new life. Colossians says this, "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins”. We will be exploring what Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension, culminating in him being seated at his Father’s right hand, means for us today.
