[Epworth Playgroups] Station 5: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the Cross

Everyone needs a friend, especially in times of deepest trials. The fifth station commemorates the action of Simon of Cyrene who came to Jesus’ aid in carrying the cross. Epworth’s playgroups provide an early opportunity for babies and toddlers to learn how to interact, and ultimately, how to be kind and caring friends their whole lives long. Moreover, the caregivers of the playgroup children find community in one another. May those to whom love is a stranger find in us generous friends.
