Journey to the Cross:
An Easter Re-Enactment

The program is FREE and parking is FREE. You may wish to bring some cash to shop at the Marketplace, but that is totally optional. Proceeds from the Marketplace will support The Salvation Army and the Smithfield Rescue Mission.

Nope! Tickets are not required. However, you can help us predict our crowd size by RSVP’ing on Facebook.

The church parking lot will be closed during the re-enactment. Plenty of free public parking is available nearby; see this map for parking options.

Wear weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable walking shoes, as most of the program will take place outdoors.

Yes! The outdoor scenes will take place in accessible areas, and the entrance to the sanctuary at Centenary is ADA compliant. A single-stall ADA-compliant bathroom will also be available at the church from 4:20-5:00.

During Scene 2 (The Last Supper), restrooms at Centenary UMC will be available for public use from 4:20-5:00. Our restrooms will not be open at any other time during the re-enactment.

Water and light refreshments will be available at the Marketplace. After the program concludes at 6:00 p.m., everyone is encouraged to visit one of our local Smithfield restaurants for dinner.
