For the third consecutive year, the Dallas Area Christian Progressive Alliance will remember the teachings of Jesus on the day of his death. The theme of this year's Good Friday Walk is, "The Last Shall Be First and the First Shall Be Last." (Matthew 20:16)
The walk will start just south of downtown, at Lakecliff Park at Colorado and Zang. Take the Colorado exit off I-35 just south of downtown Dallas and go west on Colorado. On your right, you will pass three crosses erected near the levee of the Trinity River. Continue on to Lakecliff Park and park on the street bordering the park.
Those gathered at 10:15am will start with words to center our thoughts, then will walk in quiet reflection across the Trinity River into downtown. We will stop at the Federal Building, pause for a moment's reflection, then walk to the final stop at Ferris Plaza across from Reunion Station, arriving around 11:30am. Two of those who will offer meditations are Sister Patricia Ridgley of Holy Cross Catholic Church and Rev. Colleen Darraugh of MCC of Greater Dallas. Others are pending.
Can you help make this year's walk a success? We need
• Walkers
• Individuals to gather at the beginning and/or end of the walk
• Drivers to carry walkers back to the start of the walk
• Individuals to distribute flyers
• Contributions to help pay for a banner and flyers to distribute along the way
If you can help in any way, please attend our meeting on March15. If you cannot attend the meeting, please e-mail us at Matthew-25@earthlink.net or call 214/333-7577.
