He is risen

Top, Butch Richard, Scott Mowery and Harold Carolus dig a hole where the new cross now stands. The previous cross had rotted and was finally destroyed when trees fell from the fence row nearby.
Sentinel photo by TYLER RUPERT<br> The cross was funded by donations from the nearby church because many members of the congregation have family buried at that site The cross was built out of wood and covered with vinyl by Tater Built Fences and Railings. It stands 16 feet above ground with a 7 foot crossbar and will soon have landscaping surrounding it. One member of the church funded a solar powered light that illuminates the cross through the night. If one is lucky, they can occasionally hear Rev. Jeannine Leister’s trumpet bellowing down from the site of the cross, where she plays.
