The following community art project was first experienced at Witt's End Church in Seattle, WA. Thanks to Phil Nellis for the contribution.
Through the season of Lent, the church studied the 10 commandments and practiced the spiritual discipline of confession before partaking in the Eucharist. These confessions were privately written down and placed in the "confession jar" that was available throughout lent on Sundays. The jar had red dyed water in it and slowly dissolved the paper which was later made into pulp (with a blender). This then was dried and mixed with resin and poured into two molds in the shape of the two beams of a cross. After they dried, they were assembled and presented to the community at the sunrise Easter service.
