One of the coolest things I've discovered about Calvary since coming is the incredible wealth of artistic ability we have. Calvary has long celebrated its musical arts, and lately we've also been looking for ways to celebrate our visual arts. So I'm very excited that we're doing an art-based sermon series during Lent! Ken selected a series of items for Lent, and we've gotten members to make art pieces related to those items. It's been so much fun as the pieces have come in!
I wanted to share with you the first four pieces, since we're getting the bulletins printed before I am away. Want to help support these? Consider sponsoring a bulletin! Contact the church office or see the sign-up in the Parish Hall for more information!
Ash Wednesday (Ashes), knitting by Alice V S. Woodward, assisted by Rita Sharpe
First Sunday of Lent (Towel and Basin), machine embroidery by Susan Miller
Second Sunday of Lent (Cock), quilting by Alice Linton
Third Sunday of Lent (Judge's Bench), painting by Nancy Dobbs
We will be displaying the items in the sanctuary once they are used for a sermon, and we also plan to display them for several weeks (not in the sanctuary) after Easter. Many thanks to all the artists who donated of their gifts and talents to help us mark this important season in the Church calendar!
