Stone

It started with an idea to create a "stations of the cross" experience for our FirstLight worshipers. We wanted an experiential worship service for Palm Sunday this year derived from the rich Roman Catholic "stations" devotion. We pared ours down to five stations and asked our artists to each take a station. The final station, "Jesus is laid in the tomb," I have managed sort of in-house. Andy G took my idea for the stone and created the framework. After we loaded it into my pickup for portage to the church, Andy said it looked like some sort of redneck airboat!


Over the course of two weeks, the kids in our Logos program applied the paper-mache.



Today children from our weekday school painted on the base color.


Next up: some faux-stone paint and faux-moss and then staging in the fellowship hall. It's been a neat process that involved lots of exuberant participants, and just a little mess! Four other artists are working on different stations. They will be installing them later in the week. Worship at FirstLight on Palm Sunday will allow folks to explore these stations. The stations will remain in place throughout Holy Week for the whole congregation to experience them.
