ENTERING LENT | Bethany pastor Kathy Eddy is helped by Dan Pritchard in draping a fishing net from Bangladesh upon a cross fashioned from driftwood, gathered on the Atlantic coast. Commenting upon the cross, Eddy said, "These cast-off and weather-worn, beaten pieces of wood are a symbol of one who lived among us in simple service and love, but was cast-off, despised and rejected. The net, from the poorest of the world's poor, reminds us of our own call to love, to reach out to all in need." Christian churches around the world began observing the forty day period of Lent with Ash Wednesday observances last evening. (Herald / Bob Eddy)
