Good Friday
Painting
My confirmation mentor, Mr. Thompson suggested that
we repaint the tree crosses at a location North of Frederick, Maryland…..people
beeped their horns at us and waved as they drove by…..This was an
experience that I will never forget and I am looking forward to making this
a tradition every Good Friday….

Have you ever been driving down an interstate or major highway
and seen three Crosses on the side of the road? Christian Crosses is an
interdenominational organization dedicated to the preservation, maintenance
and new construction of the Crosses that Rev. Bernard Coffindaffer planted.
Rev. Bernard Coffindaffer was a great man. He planted his 1860 Crosses in
29 states, Zambia and the Philippines. We need help with the work. If the
Crosses need paint, then paint them. If the Crosses need straightened, then
straighten them. If you are unable to do so please get a local church to look
after them. If the first church you ask says no, ask another church. They
will receive a blessing.
May the Holy Spirit touch your heart as he touched mine and continue the
work of our Lord Jesus Christ in painting and caring for the Crosses.

Blythewood,

driving to Columbia one day last August, I noticed the rundown condition of
the crosses along the side of the road, on I-77…..Unable to be seen from the
interstate are three nails in each cross. One at each of the cross arms, and one halfway down the
cross represent where the hands and feet were nailed….
