Photo Exhibit - CALL FOR ENTRIES

APC’s first Photography Exhibit:
The Word Through the Lens

The Liturgical Art committee invites everyone to submit an original photograph for an exhibit at APC entitled The Word Through the Lens. Members, visitors, friends, youth and children are all invited to submit one 8” x 10” photograph, color or black and white. You print—we mat and hang!
When you submit your photo, also turn in the form listing your title for your image, your name, and a Scripture verse you have chosen that relates to the photograph. If you wish to add additional information (such as identifying the place, people or situation in the photo) you can list that as well. This form will be the label for your image in the exhibit, so please print clearly and use black ink.
Copies of the form are available in the church lobby.

Each person can submit only one photograph. Please submit a photograph you yourself have taken. L’Art reserves the right to make the final selection of images for the exhibit.

Calendar

Summer 2010: Take your photograph or select one from your archives. Just be sure the image measures 8” x 10.” It can be digital or film, color or black and white.

The LORD upholds them with His hands


L'Art provided support for the Youth as they designed and created their own banner, which hangs in the area that the Youth use during their fellowship and worship time.

This cup is the new covenant ...

A Child of the Covenant



Currently, we are in the season of Ordinary Time, which is usually symbolized by the color green. Special seasons and events that mark the extraordinary participation of Christ in our lives are often highlighted by using the color white, which represents purity and hope. Our Sacraments, Communion and Baptism, are two such events.

Special overlays for the woven paraments were created to incorporate the colors of the season (which are used in the woven banners) along with the color white for our Sacraments. The banners being used for July 18 and 25, 2010 help us celebrate a Baptism during Ordinary Time. The shell, such as the one seen on our pulpit cloth, is often used as a symbol of baptism.

On baptism Sundays, we covenant together as a community to guide and nurture this Child of God. When we baptize an infant, we are testifying that God's grace acts on our behalf even before we are capable of responding. God has already claimed us, and we bear witness to this with the Sacrament of Baptism.
