During Lent you will find a “Cross Shop” sitting on a table in the sanctuary. The cross has become a symbol within our faith for the intersection between our need and God’s promise of healing and salvation. The Health Ministry offers this space during Lent for people to take a cross and write a word or name that represents a place in your life or someone you know who needs healing, hope, forgiveness, guidance, or grace. As you leave that cross in the cross shop for the season, the community will be lifting those needs up in prayer knowing that when our needs intersect with God’s promises we receive healing even if we cannot know or name what that healing will look like.
