At the foot of the cross where grace and suffering meet, You have shown me Your love through the judgment You received. And You’ve won my heart.
Now I can trade these ashes in for beauty and wear forgiveness like a crown. Coming to kiss the feet of Mercy, I lay every burden down at the foot of the cross.
At the foot of the cross where I am made complete, You have given me life through the death You bore for me. And You’ve won my heart.
For the season of Lent, we’re again coming back to the foot of the cross. We are reminded that from ashes we came and to ashes we will return. We are reminded that the mystery of our faith roots heavily in the actions of Jesus on the cross. So, for Lent, we are revisiting the stations of the cross on Wednesday nights, beginning March 1, Ash Wednesday. These are nights for the entire family, so we’re expanding the ages of the All Stars for Jesus Program to include children ages 3 yrs to 5th grade so parents can come, enjoy a meal with their children, and then attend the services while their children are back in All Stars. These services are also a quiet time of reflection for all of us—to refocus our hearts again on the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus that draws us into the heart of God.
