PW Retreat February 2008


Janice B., Jody B., and Jennifer E.

The planners for the Presbyterian Women's retreat asked the Liturgical Artists to lead an art project as one of the activities during the weekend. The Liturgical Art Committee decided to learn how to paint on silk, and then share what they learned with the women of the church. The women were encouraged to paint images of nature, using green as the dominant color, with the idea of spiritual growth as a theme. Later, the images could be assembled with a collage technique to make new banners to be used during the Ordinary Time of the Liturgical Year.

Psalm 52: 8 - 9:

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.

I will thank you forever, because of what you have done.
In the presence of the faithful I will proclaim your name, for it is good.

Yvonne C., Peggy A., Katie V., and Nancy H. look on as Sheryl W. employs the hair dryer to speed the drying of the silk.
