The sacrificial life of Christ is a major focus of Lent. "Symbols Of Sacrifice" provides congregations with opportunities to create visual worship aids representing Christ's life during worship.
Each weekly presentation builds a growing reminder of Christ's sacrifice for the congregation.
This series offers a list of symbols and explanation of the symbols. These are provided for the Sundays of Lent and Easter Sunday.
Symbols are:
- Ashes
- Sponge and stick
