Lenten Weekend 2023

February 2, 2023 by St. George's 4 Comments

Becoming Creative Community

March 3 – 5, 2023, with Jonathan Randall Grant

How can we express our life together through art? God invites all of us to create in response to God’s action in our lives. With our keynote speaker, Jonathan Randall Grant, as our guide, we will explore how to engage creativity as individuals and as a church community. We will also consider how to become a hub for art and creativity for our community.

Come as we create and curate a space that is Open to All in Love and Open to All for Art.

Childcare is available upon request. ASL interpreting also available upon request. Please indicate your need on your registration.
Attend all or some of the weekend. Suggested donation for the entire weekend is $40.

Lenten Weekend with Rev. Lisle

March 6, 2020 by St. George's Leave a Comment

We were blessed to have Rev. Lisle Gwynn Garrity with us for our 2020 Lenten Weekend – The Spirituality of Creativity and Play. Rev. Lisle spoke with us about the cycle of creation and how it is core to who we are as God’s creation. She led us in creating art in community and challenged us to accept our creation and our creativity as something from the Divine.

A highlight of the weekend, was her sermon and live painting during worship on Sunday! Below are pictures of her process, including the finished work, “Wilderness Way”.
