"On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.  In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!"
— Luke 24:1–6a

For our community Art Exhibit this spring, we will be going all out to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! After six and a half years of preaching through the Gospel of Luke, we are finally reaching its joyful and climactic conclusion. We are looking forward to seeing our artists' exploration of this theme: whether it's a work that shares how Jesus has brought you from death to life, or whether it's simply a declaration of praise to Jesus, who has brought all of His people from darkness to light.

If you are a poet or painter; if you sketch, quilt, sculpt, or create any other form of visual or written art, we would invite you to share your work with us! This will be an informal show, on display in our lobby and auditorium for three weeks. If children or families wish to participate, they are also welcome to do so. There is no skill level required for participation — we simply want to receive our community's creative reflection on Jesus' resurrection.

We will be hosting a reception for this art exhibition on Sunday, May 4 (directly after the third service). All artists participating in the exhibit are encouraged to attend, and there will be space during this reception for some performing artists (musicians, poets, dramatists, etc) to share their work. Please let us know when you sign up if you would like to do so.
