Art Needed for Church Service (Any Kind of Art)

Leap of Faith by Candy Matthews

Professor Matt Huett is looking for art of any kind (painting, photography, video, poetry, etc.) to be included in a walk-through art gallery in a church on Sunday, April 17. 

This is part of a month of art-themed worship services that Professor Huett's Artist in the Church class is conducting at Genesis Church in Lakeland, less than 15 min from SEU (see directions). One service was this past Sunday. The remaining ones are as follows:

• April 10 @ 10:30 AM: Panel on arts and faith (I will be among the panelists).
• April 17 @ 10:30 AM: A walk through art gallery fashioned after the themes of Christ's passion along with pieces speaking to the virtues of wonder and joy. 
• April 24 @ 10:30 AM: A celebratory Easter Sunday worship experience with a dramatic piece, Still I Believe, by local artist and pastor Dr. Steve Phifer. 

If you would like to have your art included in this service (or if you would like to be involved more extensively), email Professor Huett at mdhuett@seu.edu. All art pieces will be needed by Wednesday, April 13. You could use the painting, poetry, or story you created for this class--especially if they pertain to passion, wonder, and/or joy.

This would be a great way to use your artistic talents to worship God and to help others to do the same. I hope that you take part, however limited you think your talents may be--after all this isn't about being "great" but rather about worship and fellowship.

Finally, if it's any encouragement for you to do so, I am planning on providing some of my art to the gallery--maybe some poetry, photographs, and a painting.
