Legend of the Dogwood
At the time of Crucifixion the dogwood had been the size of the oak and other forest trees. So firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen as the timber for the cross. To be used thus for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the tree,
and Jesus nailed upon it, sensed this.
In His gentle pity for all sorrow and suffering Jesus said to the tree:
" Because of your regret and pity for My suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. Henceforth it shall be slender and bent and twisted and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross--two long and two short petals. And in the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see it will remember."
The red dogwood, called the Cherokee,
bears it's color to remind us of the blood shed by our Savior.
There is a beautiful red dogwood in full bloom planted in the memorial garden at the side by our CE wing entrance. It was planted there by Mrs. Graham.
The Hunger Site
Don't forget to click on the link at the left for the Hunger Site. The Hunger Site was founded to focus the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need; the eradication of world hunger. Since its launch in June 1999, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism, helping to feed the world's hungry and food insecure. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the yellow "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. To date, more that 200 million visitors have given more than 300 million cups of staple food.
We are once again updating our site, in hopes of making it more useful to you. Most of the links are active, those links that are not active will hopefully become active in the near future. Sorry for any inconvenience.
