Local church crosses itself

Jordan Buness and Dwight Yancey install the new cross atop First Presbyterian on Dec. 24, just in time for the church's Christmas observances. Svendsen Marine Works did the metalwork for the church-top cross, which also features bright red neon lighting. The previous model had served as a beacon to vessels passing through Zimovia Strait for well over a century, but was taken down in August during the church's roof repairs.
