Got sand in your shorts??

Thanks to Jonny Baker for making my mouth drool over a very cool worship experience at Cityside, and for Mark Pierson for telling about it.


Saturday we wheelbarrowed 10 cubic metres/yards (15 tonnes/tons) of beach sand into Cityside on our first step toward creating a NZ coastal Gethsemane Garden. Had our Palm Sanday worship and community commitment service whilst lounging on deck chairs and rugs. Young and old built sandcastles. Anything you dropped got lost!

Yesterday we hung and lit 14 pieces of art on frames along paths through the sand. Contemporary interpretations of the traditional Stations of the Cross. Video, sculpture, painting, etc.

Today we carried 150 trees and grasses in and placed them around the art and the waterfall.

Tommorrow we open to the public and then on Easter Sunday we'll bring in the bbq's and celebrate Jesus cooking fish on the beach with his followers.

Monday we start to reverse the process.




Hmm, now where can I find some sand...
