On Easter Sunday morning members of Mulberry are asked to bring flowers from their yards or gardens to place on the cross in Mulberry’s courtyard. The cross will be covered in greenery and chicken wire and flowers will be easily placed on the cross. Please bring flowers to the courtyard prior to Sunday school. This beautiful blooming cross will symbolize our risen Christ to all who pass by our church home after Easter.
Journey of the Crown of Thorns We know from three of the Gospels that a crown of
thorns was placed on Jesus' head leading up to the crucifixion. It was placed there to mock his
authority and to inflict pain. Mulberry's crown of
thorns is handmade and given by the Heard family. Follow its journey through the Church...
as it finds its place beneath the cross
during Holy Week. Chris Abbott, Worship Chair
