How it Works
A step-by-step journey with Jesus!
Families will travel through 8 surprising and engaging stations and discover the joy, sorrow, and incredible grace of God together.
Stations Include:
Families strike a pose in front of the Journey to the Cross pathway for a keepsake snapshot you can send in the Follow-Up Foto Frame.
Families join the crowd of people who’ve gathered excitedly to catch a glimpse of Jesus as he enters Jerusalem.
Families reflect on why Jesus came to be with us, help us, and love us. Jesus left heaven to be with us. They’ll enter into darkness and contemplate the effect our sins have in our lives.
Families experience the power of Jesus’ words and discover who our Savior is as Jesus tells who he is and why he has come.
Families experience the power of the eternal gift Jesus gave to us, a sacrifice that only he could make. Jesus paid the price for all our sins. They’ll discover how Jesus washed away our sins.
Families experience the joy of grace, forgiveness, and eternal life. Jesus defeated death and gave us eternal life!
In Preschool Passage, little ones will experience four interactive and fun activities that help them learn more about Jesus, his love for us, and what happened at Easter while their families travel through the stations of Journey to the Cross.
Kids and families simply pause, snack, and chat with volunteers who intentionally strike up conversations. It’s a great place to build friendships and share information about your church family.
