New Processional Cross – David Faldet and Harley Refsal, in collaboration with our Ad Hoc Art Subcommittee, designed and created the cross and present it as a gift to the congregation. The design elements use a variety of local materials that link us to our environment. Wood from several tree varieties, a fossil, clay, and repurposed items – an old hoe handle and iron bar – are used on the two-sided cross. The prominent design element on the front side is a cross-on-a- cross, a visual reminder of the body on the original cross. On the backside, the clay shell medallion mounted in the center on blue carved wood connects us to our font and baptism. It was first used at this year’s Good Friday and Easter Vigil services.
