The Plaque and Notice on the Chevin Cross

This notice was found in the archives and was obviously put on
the old Cross on the Chevin in the early days.

This large cross reminds us of the immense love God has for every single individual.

When first made it was even taller,

but it fell down soon after first being put up

and lost some height in the re-construction process.

It now stands almost 30 feet (9 metres) tall

with a span of 12 feet (3.6 metres)

A real 'working' cross is much smaller, and a life-sized replica is erected in the market place over Easter. It is designed to cause a

painful, undignified and long drawn out death.

GOOD NEWS

Jesus ' death on a cross was not the end.

His resurrection brings hope for us

and God's promise 'of a way forward.

Through Jesus, God provides a way by which ordinary , sinful people can be released from the bondage of evil deeds and thoughts

All approach the Holy One without fear and with renewed lives.

Read about it in the New Testament part of the Bible starting

with the Gospels.

We thank God for what He has done for us in the death and resurrection of Jesus,

And pray that everyone in this town and area

come to know this for themselves.

This Stainless Steel Plaque was commissioned for the Cross in 2008
as a celebration of the New Cross
and 40 years commemoration of a Cross on the Chevin.
