When the Worship Committee asked the youth what they would like to do, they wanted Stations of the Cross.

Youth and volunteers from Forrest Chapel United Methodist, McKendree United Methodist, Moss Chapel United Methodist, Salem United Methodist, First United Methodist of Hartselle and Daystar will present the event. There are 30 -40 volunteers who will help present the dramatization.

Lindsey said they are praying people will attend. They want to touch those who do not know Christ and what He did for them. There will be a prayer vigil covering the event beginning at midnight the day of the event and continuing until 5:00 p.m.
