The Walking Christ transformed into Resurrection Glory
During Lent we walked with Christ to Jerusalem. Each week there was a reading and prayer and we placed paper footsteps to signify our ‘walking’. Jesus was wearing a purple robe and carrying his cross.
On Easter Day the cross had gone, the robe was white, the crown of thorns had become a diadem and the ‘road’ adorned with flowers.
17 members of the congregation helped Martin with a recent sermon by making letters out of bread to illustrate the sermon. A brilliant way to bring the theme to life!
