Jesus engaged images and metaphors from nature to help us understand a life of faith. The psalms are abundant in references to nature. In the upcoming art challenge, we invite you to journey into spring with this exploration of nature in scriptures. Then respond with your own creation. You can use any medium you want: song, poetry, visual art, photography, video, etc. (if it involves performance, the length would be 10-15 minutes).

Beginning Sunday, March 11 we will send weekly emails sharing scriptural and artistic inspiration. Then, on April 15 there will be a gathering after Mass at the Monastery for people to share their works and inspirations. If you can’t make it to the Monastery, you may wish to engage in this project with a group in your community. To learn more and accept the challenge email creative@stgertrudes.org or call 208-962-5065.
