Journey to the Cross 2025

Saturday • April 12 • 10:00am-Noon

Children and adults are invited to participate in a sensory learning event covering the events of Holy Week. As a traveler, you will walk in Jesus’ footsteps, meet witnesses from the Bible, smell the aroma of anointing perfume, see a live donkey, taste Passover food, feel a crown of thorns, and so much more. Take a walking journey with passport in hand (we provide the passport) and be transported back to the time of Christ as you hear anew about our Savior’s final footsteps and take part in the Passion experience.

This incredible FREE travel deal — Journey to the Cross — includes the following:

• Get a brand new passport filled with stickers of the places you visit!

• Walk to Bible stations and meet witnesses of Jesus’ final week!

• Sample foods, experience cultural differences, see what Bible life was like!

Tours begin every 15 minutes from 10:00am to Noon. Participants are encouraged to park outside the education wing (southwest side of lot) and enter the doors on that end of our facility.

Register today by calling the church office at 815-895-4477. Please give us your family name, number of attendees, and the quarter hour (available start times are 10:00, 10:15, 10:30, 10:45, 11:00, & 11:15) you would like your Journey to the Cross to begin.
