I used this 2 weeks ago as a response to a message given on the theme 'The Power of the Cross'. We're a large fellowship so the end result of many, many marks on the cross was extremely moving. I extended the symbolism slightly by making the washing of the paint off our hands a point too and I read parts Psalm 51 (from the Amplified Bible). Its a great idea Ruth - I plan to use it for a small gathering of ladies too! Versatile, creative and very effective. Thank you!
