Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
Tomorrow morning persons from various Christian faith communities will
gather to meditate upon the 12 Stations of the Cross. This traditional
Passion Friday journey invites believers to reflect on the diverse
experiences which Jesus encountered in the last hours of his life. We will
meet at 9:15am at Wooldrige park at 10th and Guadalupe. Our first station
is in front of the courthouse, and we will move form there to the jail next
door and onto the Governors Mansion. If you arrive late then please meet us
en route. You can also call cell(363-2558) to find our precise location.
Wear your sunscreen, drink water, bring your art, wear good shoes.
ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING A PHOTO OR TOKEN OF
SOMEONE WHO HAS SUFFERED INJUSTICE. WE WILL PLACE THESE
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AT STATION TWELVE.
The program schedule provided for this journey is given below.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
At Each Station the leader will say
V. We adore you, O Christ,
and we bless you.
and we will respond
R. Because by your holy Cross,
you have redeemed the
world.
Between stations, join us in singing one of the following:
Were you there when the crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Where you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?...
Were you there when they laid him in the grave?...
Jesus, remember me, When you come into your kingdom
Jesus, remember me, When you come into your kingdom
Into your hands I commit my Spirit
Into your hands I commit my life
*At the Twelfth Station (Jesus Dies) we invite you to place a
picture or symbol of someone at the foot of the cross and/or
to quietly speak their name. 12 Chimes will ring out in their
memory and in their honor.

Concluding prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And
lead us
not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom and
the
power and the glory now and forever. Amen.
...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to
bring some portion of misery to an end
