Way of the Cross: 2008

Followers gather at the steps to the First United Methodist Church.	The Cross looms before us all.	The first volunteer takes the cross during the Station One and Station Two
Station One: Jesus Prays in the Garden of Olives	Station Two: Jesus is betrayed by Judas	We prepare to symbolically walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
The Cross leads the way	A quiet, somber crowd follows	As we pass the marble, steel, and glass monuments of the world's prosperity
	The simple wooden Cross stands in contrast to our modern society	Walking through the marble pillars.

The signal acknowledges the Cross	Our second stop: the Connection Cafe	Station Three: Jesus is condemned to Death by the Sanhedrin
	Another volunteer assumes the duty of the Cross
		Station Four: Jesus is Denied by Peter
The journey continues		The faithful follows the Cross
	The next stop is at the Catholic Pastoral Center
Station Five: Jesus is Judged by Pilate
Station Six: Jesus is Flogged and Crowned with Thorns	The Cross continues on its way
The Cross is found in many forms downtown	Approaching Elsie Mason Manor	Another volunteer bears the Cross
Station Seven: Jesus Carries His Cross	Station Eight: Jesus is Helped by Simon of Cyrene	The Cross carries its message downtown
	Waiting for traffic to pass - the world continues even in the presence of the Cross
		The procession continues its solemn path
		Approaching Nollen Plaza
	The Cross arrives at the foot of the Crusoe Umbrella.	Station Nine: Jesus Encounters the Woman of Jerusalem
	Station Ten: Jesus is Crucified	Another follower carries the Cross.
Leading the way to the next station	The crowd follows quietly
		On the route to the Jail
The Cross pauses briefly by the Courthouse	We remember Jesus' trial as we pass the Courthouse
		We near the Polk County Jail
