Dozens of Crosses Created for Lent

Bethany members and friends gathered after the March 19 worship service to decorate wooden crosses. The “create a keepsake cross activity,” held on the fourth Sunday of Lent, coincided Rev. Jesse Larson’s sermon about Jesus’s instruction to his followers to “take up your cross and follow me.” Crosses were largely adorned with repurposed items such as old jewelry, fabric, ribbon, paper, wire and “found objects.”
