The annual Lynchburg Living Cross is presented by Hyland Heights Baptist Church each spring and they have used the MidiLite system since 1997.

The 2006 Living Cross was their 19th annual presentation. The Living Cross itself holds 68 choir members and contains over 36,000 twinkle lights all controlled by a Macintosh computer and 9 MidiLite Dimmer frames. The show is programmed on an iMAC G4 computer, but runs simultaneously with the audio from a Macintosh G4 tower during the show. Intelligent fixtures are also synced with the music using a G4 Powerbook, LCedit+, and Digital Performer.

Performances are typically the weekend before and the weekend of
Easter. A love offering will be received. Nursery services are not
provided.
