   “After this day, the cross will mean so much more to me because I've carried
   it. It’s an amazing thing that I will never forget.”— Rebecca Evanoff, who
   helped carry her church’s new cross on Good Friday.


UMTV: Good Friday Cross Journey

   NORTH CANTON, Ohio (UMTV) — The Rev. Don Richards cut down a tree in his
   yard and got an idea for a unique way to make a public witness. He had the
   tree shaped into a giant cross and invited members of his church, Grace
   United Methodist, and other neighbors to carry the 14-foot, 425-pound cross
   on a 14-mile journey. Participants say they experienced the Easter story on
   a deeper level.

Storms can’t wash away churches’ Easter spirit

   KNOXVILLE, Tenn.(UMNS) — Nearly 15 members were taking down Easter
   decorations inside Washington Pike United Methodist Church when above the
   din of the storm, they heard an ominous “cra-a-ack.” A tree had crashed onto
   the church, which is just one of many United Methodist buildings across the
   Midwestern and Southern United States left battered by April’s severe winds
   and flooding.

Ohio Wesleyan honors baseball pioneers

   DELAWARE, Ohio (UMNS) — Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey, president and
   general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, made history in 1947, when they
   partnered to break Major League Baseball’s color barrier.
   This year, Ohio Wesleyan University has honored that history with the
   release of a new video telling the story of the two men’s collaboration and
   the incident in Rickey’s life that inspired him to risk everything to help
   integrate professional sports.
   In 1903, Rickey was a student and baseball coach at Ohio Wesleyan when he
   witnessed university player Charles Thomas’ despair at being refused lodging
   in the same hotel as his white teammates. The moment changed Rickey’s life
   forever.

Advisory: Haiti sacrifices inspire journey of faith

   It has been more than a year since the Haiti earthquake took the lives of
   thousands of people, including United Methodist church workers Sam Dixon and
   Clinton Rabb. On April 28, United Methodist News Service will post a
   narrative report focusing on the faith journeys of Suzanne Rabb and Cindy
   Dixon, the spouses of the two men, and that of Nancy Gulley, whose husband
   survived the quake. “Haiti sacrifices inspire journey of faith” by former
   UMNS editor David Briggs, will be posted on [18]www.UMC.org. We think you
   will find it an inspiring read.
