Journey to the Cross

A resource for youthMeditating on the events of Jesus’ final days and his resurrection can be profound. The challenge for most of us is shutting out the noise and distractions of everyday life long enough to quiet our souls and listen to the Spirit of God, writes Faith Bosland.

Here’s how you can set up an inspiring means to interactively meditate on Jesus’ Journey to the Cross: create stations for contemplation around your facility. It’s perfect if you have side rooms, stairs, pews, choir loft, and a balcony, but you can be creative and adapt to any situation.

You can offer Journey to the Cross any time of the year. Holy Week can be especially effective. Use it during camp, a lock-in, or a midweek gathering. This design has 13 stations, most of which can accommodate approximately three people at a time. Since everyone begins at the first station, you need a plan for staggering the start.
