Lent and Easter Crosses

The Lent and Easter Crosses we erected on our property at the corner of Eureka and Church Street have been a big hit with the community. The poles were orginally erected by Don Kilgore and Ben Graves to display banners for our Kirkin' o' the Tartans service. Ben and Suzan Graves then added a crossbeam and purple robe to create a Lenten display of the crucifixion of Christ. The purple robe and crown of thorns were removed and lilies were placed at the foot of Christ's cross to signify his resurrection on Easter Sunday. The crosses will continue to portray Christ's resurrection during the Easter season and then they will be removed. We anticipate using the Kirkin' banners again next Spring and perhaps we will again erect the Lent and Easter crosses since they have been so well received by the community. We've heard positive comments about the Lenten Crosses from Baptists, Methodists, and various friends and family throughout the community.
