Community Crosswalk Through Downtown on Good Friday, April 19
Public invited to share carrying a cross.
HENDERSONVILLE: First United Methodist Church will lead its traditional one-mile community walk with the cross through downtown Hendersonville on Good Friday, April 19, starting at 11:00 a.m. in the church parking lot on Buncombe Street.
“Each year, Christian pilgrims walk the Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross) in Jerusalem,” says Rev. Mark Ralls, Senior Minister. “We feel called to do the same on the streets of our beloved Hendersonville. Come join us on this pilgrimage.”
The event is open to all, including families with children. Rain or shine, the procession begins in the church parking lot, then moves in silence down Main Street, returning to the church. Arriving at the church’s Sanctuary, walkers will continue their observance with the Good Friday Service at noon.
The community is invited to a reception prior to the Crosswalk beginning at 10 a.m. to enjoy freshly baked Hot Cross Buns, a traditional Easter sweet roll decorated with a sugar glaze in the shape of a cross.
First United Methodist Church is located at 204 Sixth Avenue West, Hendersonville. Parking is available in the Buncombe Street lot. For more information, 828-693-4275 or visit www.fumchvlnc.org.
