This mural is 500 feet long. Designed by Susan Bonner and finger painted in collaboration with about 100 inner city neighborhood kids of 13th Avenue ranging in age from 2-18. Previous to this mural's design the building was constantly tagged by graffiti. This mural gave the kids of the community a way to reclaim the space.
The story of the mural is about bringing hope from despair, throwing your burdens on the Cross of Jesus and choosing joy through the resurrection of Christ. Kids jump rope in the joy section and lead the way to the empty tomb of Jesus on Easter Day. This is also the doorway into the church.
