“When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the prince of glory died…”

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Words by Isaac Watts, ELW page 803

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my
followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross

and follow me."     
Matthew 16:24  NRSV

The cross – our symbol for that wonderful, sacrificial gift that God gave to us – the death of His Son to assure our salvation, as well as the constant reminder to us of what we have to do to follow Him.  We have many crosses throughout Trinity to remind us of the gift and the responsibility – from the very obvious ones – the steeple cross, the Christus Rex in the nave, the Fellowship Hall cross – to the less obvious – the crosses in the doors to the nave and chapel, the small brass crosses on the ends of four pews in the nave, the concrete cross from the old education building.  In fact there are crosses or crucifixes in virtually every room in the building.  Many of the crosses are wonderful works of art in their own rights, or they have unique stories to tell, or they serve some specific purpose, or they may just be meaningful to you. 

The April 2010 Gathering Space art exhibit will again feature the Crosses of Trinity, and again we are seeking additions to that exhibit.  Everyone is encouraged to participate, including those who contributed to the displays last year, and all framed photographs received will be displayed along with those that were part of the original exhibit.  Neither special photographic expertise nor expensive, high quality cameras are required – just your willingness to share our symbols of the love of Jesus for us by his death on the cross through the lens of your camera. There is also an instruction sheet for photographers available in the Gathering Space or the church office as well as on-line.  (click here)  The instruction sheet provides all of the necessary details.  If you have questions, please contact Jeff Weaver at 697-3259, Maggie Ackerman at 790-9345 or Christopher Couch at 737-8635, or send an email to TrinityCrosses@trinitycamphill.orgFramed photographs to be included in the exhibit are due in the church office by March 15, 2010.

The Gathering Space art displays for March 2008 and April 2009 featured the Crosses of Trinity as told through the camera lenses of various Trinity photographers.  The photographs that were featured in those shows are shown below with the name of the photographer.
