Journey to the Cross

Welcome to the Journey to the Cross! This is a series of digital prayer stations created by Marysville First United Methodist Church for Easter 2020.

Most of the stations are about 5 minutes long, and they don't have to be done all in one sitting, in fact we suggest that you break it up and dedicate some time each week on the run up to Easter.

We've added a prayer, bible reading and some words to reflect on, after each video. At the bottom of each page is a link to the next station (video), like the link below.

INTRODUCTION

This is an important time to connect with God. This time requires a few things of you…

• Slow down.

• Please turn off your phone.

• Be open to what God has in store for you.

We hope that through this experience you’ll see how your story is connected to and is a continuation of a bigger story of God, that began thousands of years ago.

You can enter this experience on your own or with your family. This is a time to slow down and to leave the business of life to focus on Jesus.

Spend as long as you need at each station. If you are drawn to a particular spot along the journey, feel free to stay longer. Move onto the next station whenever you are ready.

You may want to have a notepad with you, so you can jot down any thoughts or feelings you may have. You could write a word, write a prayer, or draw a picture – whatever you want to do.

The Journey to the Cross is not about agendas or meeting an expectation, but it is simply a time and place for you to draw closer to Jesus.
