This is the one event that will transform your life and the lives of your students! While you can spend every week teaching your students about the ultimate sacrifice Christ made with his life, "enduring the cross, scorning its shame," how can you help them truly understand and internalize it?

Via Dolorosa is more than a youth event. It's a mission - a passion - for the cross. Pick a weekend (preferably as close to Easter as possible) and do your own "Way of the Cross." Have your students raise money to give in a special STL offering on Easter morning.

Holding a local Via Dolorosa also provides incredible visibility for your church and youth group. Imagine the lasting impact when students are seen giving of their time, effort, and money in order to glorify Jesus. In the same way, there is a lasting impact in the lives of those who participate as they get a clearer glimpse of the amazing sacrifice that Jesus made for them.
