STATIONS OF THE CROSS - NORTH INDY, NARTHEX
NOW THRU GOOD FRIDAY
During Lent, Christians have walked the way of the cross as a spiritual practice for centuries to prepare for Holy Week and Easter. “Everyone’s Way of the Cross” invites you to go through the stations at your own pace. Stop at each station in or just stop at the ones that draw you in. Go slowly. Linger to allow the Spirit of God to use these experiences to speak uniquely to you. Open March 17-29, any time the church is open.
