Members of First Presbyterian Church spent several months exploring the stations of the cross - a journey of Jesus’ last day and crucifixion. We’ve created our own stations of the cross using original art works of various mediums. The stations are presented in our sanctuary from Palm Sunday - Pentecost and are available for community members to view during church office hours (9-1 each weekday) or by appointment by calling the church office - and of course each Sunday before or after worship!
