Good Friday walk with the cross is 'dispay of Christian unity'

YOUNGSTOWN

Ambassadors for Christ shares a public testimony of faith through its signature event, the annual Good Friday walk with the cross.

This year marked the 15th event presented by the organization of East Side congregations, which formed in 2000.

Lenten programs are the mainstay of the group, highlighting the shared belief in Christ’s ministry. Clergy of participating churches present Lenten services that include Scripture, prayer, music and fellowship.

About 30 people from member churches and other supporters walked with the cross this year. They sang, prayed and recited the Stations of the Cross.

The Rev. Mr. Pettis, president, described the walk “as a display of Christian unity.” He noted member churches represent congregations of black and white members. “It’s a community event of fellowship,” Mr. Pettis said. “It shows our support of one another.”
