The new Liturgical Arts Team

We're starting a new venture at St. Antony's! It's called the "Liturgical Arts Team". Possibly people are wondering what that means.

Here's what we have in mind. At present our worship is visually quite blank. We have a colonial style altar and pulpit, a large brass cross, and two pale banners against a blank white wall. For a visual artist, that equals one big canvas to work with!

It's not easy to make changes in a worship space, and it needs a collaborative effort of creative people who can work together to come up with a design and bring it to reality. So by forming a team of artists, we hope to create a synergy that can make that happen. We have some very talented and creative people in our congregation, and we'll give them the freedom to imagine and dream.

My hope is that we'll be able to come up with some fabric design that will help us in our observance of Advent. Something blue. We'll meet at Noon this Sunday, November 8, and we'll see what our creative minds can come up with.

Perhaps we'll simply drape some cloth for some banners or hangings. It doesn't need to be something that lasts for eternity; it could be a one-off creation so that we can come up with something new next Advent.

I'm curious to see what we'll come up with, and hopeful that this will be the start of a new creative adventure at St. Antony's.
