Our Cross this month is the Celtic Cross with Trinity Knot. The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a ring, that emerged in Ireland and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. It became widespread through its use in the stone high crosses erected across the islands, especially in regions evangelized by Irish missionaries, from the 9th through the 12th centuries. The trinity knot accent is a focal point in the middle and represents God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the interwoven circle symbolizes the "whole" created through the trinity, a sign of eternal life and love.

In January, 2018, we started placing a different cross each month in the top right hand corner of our Wider Fellowship page.
 Just in case you were wondering, the different crosses were:
 Jan - Presbyterian cross
Feb - just a beautiful stained glass cross
Mar - Celtic Cross
Apr - Cross of St. James
May - Occitan Cross
 We have identified them from June onwards.
 Our Cross this month is the Crosslet Cross - It's a combination of four Latin Crosses, with each cross facing a different cardinal direction.
 This is meant to symbolize spreading Christianity to all four corners of the world. For example, this might be used to indicate missionary work.
 Thank you and God Bless

Our Cross this month is the Cross and Crown. You might be expecting this symbol to reference the fact that Jesus is the King of Kings, but according to some sources, this is actually referencing a promise from Revelation 2:10. In this message to one of His faithful churches, Jesus says that those who endure the trials to come and still remain faithful to the end will be rewarded with the Crown of Life.
