Worship through Art - by Lizzy Plummer
Submitted by Lizzy on 5 February, 2009 - 17:52Hello,
After engaging with art at the 24/7 prayer weekend, I felt the call to set up an art group, where art could be used as an expression of worship.
“Art is really expressions in various languages of observations, questions, complaints, admiration, challenges, and encouragements made by human beings as part of a great conversation with the cosmos, or God and other people.” (www.theologynetwork.org)
Our involvement with art shouldn’t be passive, it isn’t a spectator sport: it’s something that everyone can be involved in. My passion and aim this term is to see art integrated into St John’s as another form of worship. I want to give people the opportunity to express their love for God through art, as an alternative to dance and music. This has all stemmed from my own love for art and God and desire to combine the two. I plan to organise an afternoon (dates to be confirmed) where this can be possible- to invite people to share in my vision and have a go themselves. Everyone is welcome- whether a professional artist or a beginner, God gives us each gifts for us to use.
If you want to find out more about this vision then you can contact me at: lizzy[at]stjohnswoodbridge.org[dot]uk
