Phil Haydn from Living Water Community Church in Dalton, Ohio, brings us this unfinished fence for their “it is finished” series.
They created their “tomb” by building a jagged fence. They made it 9 feet at its highest point and 20 feet wide.
On Good Friday, they painted “it is finished” in the center of the wood mountain. Then on Easter they painted the tomb and the words “He is alive, we are free”.
The wood cost about $200. With wood, paint, and nails they spent about $230. They cut the pieces randomly at different lengths to get the mountain feel. They just eyeballed what looked good as they put it together.
They lit it all with some LED fixtures.
I write and speak about the creative process – especially for churches. Call me a resource for the church creative wanting to make their ministry better.
I was wondering how you supported the wooden hill? What did you do/use to make it stand up on it’s own? Also, did any of your lights change color, or were they geled with a specific color? Thank you, and great design idea!! Love it!
