In our summer sermon series, we invited different artists from our community to take time and be co-creators with God through art.
Each artist picked a spiritual practice to interact with. Through opening intentional windows with God in these practices, they have used their skills and talents to make beautiful things. Read about our artist reflections, and see the art here.
Art & Practice
For the spiritual practice of community, we were all the artists this week! Together, we create a community of those who do not “art” and those who love it. Here is what is so very important about this: We are all an invaluable part of this community. This art piece and this place would not be whole without you.
In this large group art project, we each put in a piece of ourselves. We each painted one paper circle. Painting next to each other was joyful and fun, but it also brought up feelings of vulnerability and comparison of “What will people think of me?”
Colossians 3:11–17
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
We are made by a creative, creator God. We too carry this spark of creation. Learn more about what we’re doing through Art & Practice.
