Our Story
Back in 1985, the PalmCross® idea evolved from a team experience when Ron Foht was commissioned as lay leader for a three-day retreat. He carved the PalmCross® for use as each team member delivered a talk while holding the cross in the palm of their hand. The cross was made from walnut, and he didn't have time to apply a finish before the retreat because he ran out of time! After the weekend, Ron was amazed to see that the character of the cross had changed because the wood had absorbed the oils from the hands of the people who held it. Each person had truly become part of the cross!
Re-Opened in Kansas
In late 2018 Joe experienced a similar downsizing from his job and began to look for other opportunities. Then in 2019, Joe discovered ByRon PalmCross was no longer producing crosses after retirement and contacted Ron to see what had happened with the business. After getting to know one another and after some prayerful consideration, the decision was made to purchase the business assets and move production to Kansas. In September 2019, PalmCross® re-opened in Kansas with Joe and Deena Rogers at the helm. PalmCross® continues to be a ministry and blessing for all those involved!
