September to December 2020

PARTICIPANTS’ PAGE

Our Praying with Art Series  focuses on the art of the life of Christ as it has been portrayed by numerous Christian artists throughout the centuries in a wide variety  of styles.  This semester (September to December 2020) will span from the Annunciation to just before the last week in Christ’s life.  Next semester (beginning January  2021) we will pick up from the last week of Christ’s life and go to the Ascension and beyond.  There is no required text, but Scripture readings will be suggested for each event that is portrayed.  Join us to appreciate the art and to pray with it as well
