The New Members Ministry took a trip to visit the The Shrine of Christ’s Passion, a multi-media interactive, half-mile winding Prayer Trail that depicts the last days of Jesus Christ’s life. They witnessed forty life-size bronze sculptures in a tranquil setting, complete with beautiful music and amazingly sculptured gardens allow visitors to experience the story of the crucifixion and resurrection as never before! What a meaningful opportunity to learn about the last days of Christ’s life.
