Kort fortalt er dette et kors på vandring. Det begynte med en visjon som kom i påsken 2003 om å bære korset rundt til alle verdens hovedsteder for å takke Jesus for frelsen. Korset har vært i Ukraina, Polen, Latvia, Litauen, Estland og Finland. Nå er det vår tur, og korset skal være i kirken fra lørdag 18.10. til onsdag 22.10. Kom innom og be ved korset!
SISTE: korset er blitt flyttet til St. Josph kirke og er der inntil videre.
