LIGHT THROUGH A CROSS SHAPED SPACE
There hanging in the sanctuary was the cross in space.
If you look closely at the material, it is bits of white paper torn up and glued together. The overlapping of the paper with the torn edges have the effect of creating a kind of angel wings look. I found all this quite wonderful and powerfully symbolic.Angels guarding the space of the cross!
It got me thinking that we could use this for our next "SANCTUARY FIRST SERVICE on the 3rd May..
The idea I have is all life in now understood through the cross.
The cross is the space we all need to move into and through.
I can see people slipping through the gap the cross has made.
Slipping into a new life a new place
You can pass from one place to the next
Interesting to think about the space the cross makes
in space, in our lives, in our world?
The cross helps us move through time
even into eternity.
The cross creates a new world order
the new creation!
The cross is the bridge that takes us from darkness to light.
From pain to healing from disappointment to joy.
from unemployment to understanding
that life is work in itself and gives meaning
because life has meaning
So we move from life to beyond
So I thought we could explore the cross as the space of recreation in the world.
The space for change
The space for hope.
The space of relationships
So I'm looking for help
Starting from
"and through him (Jesus) to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." Col 1:20 The God is who is reconciling all creation- redeeming time
redeeming life even redeeming our cultures.
We could start to explore what this means?
It would be cool to use the image of the cross and have images back projected on the four pieces of paper
use light at the back and see how the cross image would look.
Use people to move through the space
use the cross space to create a dance
To create an idea of mystery beyond
What does a cross shaped beyond look like?
Anyway this is a starter for ten
It is usings and thoughts to make you think and contribute.
I'd love to hear some of your ideas we could use in the service.
