"Vast as the heavens are that surround us, we seldom lift our gaze beyond the narrow boundaries of daily tasks… And yet from time to time the scales fall from our eyes and glimpses of transcendence steal upon us, unbidden and unexpected. We see through a painting to a deeper level of spiritual illumination…Suddenly we find ourselves caught up in a higher mode of seeing and hearing, one that engages us completely and in ways we cannot articulate...”
"Visions of Amen," David Hoekema, The Christian Century Magazine, December 2008
Our church has long supported the arts, understanding its unique capacity to inspire and create glimpses of transcendence.
In 2004, LOPC received a grant to commission Lenten Series by Tim Mooney and were fortunate to have had it on display at LOPC for Lent and Easter serivces. Due to the generousity of the donors mentioned below, we now will be able to have this work in our collection. To read an article by Tim explaining the process and inspiration that went in to the creation of the artwork, please click here.
We still need a few more donors to complete to help support this purchase. If you are interested and/or want more information, please contact Sharon Francis at sharon@lopc.org.
