CROSSWalking in NT


This Friday is called Good Friday by Christians around the world.  Even though this day marks Jesus' suffering and death on the cross, Christians call this day "Good" believing that Jesus' selfless act on the cross is for the sake of the world.

The mystery of the cross permeates our existence.  THIS FRIDAY, you are invited to take a CROSSWalk in NT to explore its mysteries and to ponder the meaning of the cross in your life.

Here's how it works:

There are 7 "CROSS Sightings" located throughout the streets and parks and buildings of New Town.

Walk it with a group, your family, or on your own.  There's no start time or finish time. CROSS Sightings will be out by 7am on Friday and will continue into Saturday day. 

The first CROSS Sighting location and picture is below.  At each CROSS Sighting, follow these steps:  

1.  Scan the QR code at each CROSS Sighting location.  (Each sight will have a new QR code). 

2.  The QR code will link you to one of seven posts on The Bridge's blog.  Each post will include:
  •  Brief Good Friday meditation
  •  Location and picture of the next CROSS Sighting.
3.  Travel to the next sighting and repeat by scanning the new QR code.
As you walk, look for your own cross sightings in NT.  When you find one, take a picture and upload it to The Bridge's fb page.

If you do not have a QReader on your phone, nor wish to download one, you may pick up printed copies and instructions @ The Bridge on Friday morning.
For those who not able to physically walk the CROSSWalk, you may take a virtual tour of the 7 CROSS Sightings by clicking on the subsequent postings to the right of this blog post. Each is titled in the archives as follows:"CROSS Sighting #.."
