From Iowa-After nearly 14 years of planning, sanding and carving, the Trinity Episcopal Church congregation welcomed a new handcrafted crucifix Sunday.
The cross started as an adult education initiative at the church, but was set aside after the group disbanded. Off and on for more than a decade, clergy members would draw and carve images, but never finished the piece.
Jim and Chuck Hawtrey, two Iowa City brothers and members of the congregation, started work on the crucifix last year and finished in May. The clergy displayed the large cross in the atrium at the church at 320 E. College Street this week, to the excitement of many members.
