New Cross in time for Christmas Eve

The new Cross for the student center arrived in time for the Candlelight Christmas Eve Vibe Services. The inspiration from this cross began when a member of Resurrection, who happens to be one of my favorite guys around, offered to purchase a cross if we would decide what might be best.

We had been debating style and size for the past year, and then inspiration hit me. I was on a Senior staff retreat a few weeks back and we worshiped at an outdoor chapel.

That is when inspiration hit me (the chapel cross at the camp we were at). It made quite an impression on everyone, very simple, yet present. I began to think this design would be great for the student center space.

I started sketching and Tami, my assistant, went to work finding a metal-work artist. It so happened that one of our student's Uncle happened to do this kind of work out in Colorado. I sent the plans, picked the finish, and it arrived in time to be the Christ candle on Christmas Eve.
