One of the local churches near me would give everyone a pvc pipe cross lol
At Easter they give everyone a palm cross, then if you still have it by Christmas, you're supposed to burn it, but no one ever does still have it by Christmas, so they give you a new one. Then they burn that one.
This is supposed to signify something, but I don't think anyone knows what.
I think you're confusing it with Ash Wednesday, the first day of lent?
You know they have a big assembly night, and they have to recruit helpers:
"And before we do the benediction, I just want to say that on Wednesday evening, we will be assembling the crosses for next Sunday's service, and we can use all the help we can get. I'm not making this request, God is, I'm just passing along the message.
Oh, and God says that he's not made of money, so if you want snacks and beverages, bring your own."
I've been to many many different churches over the years, and the great majority of them seem to have lost the plot.
