Christ In The Psalms 2015 Artwork

Every summer we return to the Psalms as a church. We are preaching through the entire Psalter, generally about 10-12 psalms every summer in chronological order. Our prayer is that as we work our way through the Psalms, the Psalms would work their way into our every days… That they would inform our prayer lives, our lives of worship before God, and that we would see Christ within every chapter! Last summer, we asked a variety of artists to help us “see” the psalms in a new light. Each artist picked one of the psalms we were going to study that summer, and as they studied it and meditated on the text, they responded to it in art. Below are 12 of the Psalms put to canvas and wood and paint. We pray these pieces of art help you see new things you may have never seen in each Psalm, and even feel them.

Why The Arts Matter

Hey folks,

Quick reminder that the Jill Phillips & Andy Gullahorn concert is this Saturday (May 2nd) at 7pm! We hope you’ll come, and bring friends, too.

The general response to our concert announcement was two-fold: Some immediately started clapping and shouting because they know the caliber of Jill & Andy’s songwriting and storytelling. They’re top-notch. Others had no clue who either of them are. We’d love for both parties to join us on Saturday because we think it’s a significant evening for our church!

Why is it significant? One of our church values is the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness, and this concert is a celebration of that pursuit. Surrounding ourselves with stories, songs, and beauty matters. The arts enlighten us to different perspectives, and help us express things we feel but don’t know how to express!

We hope God uses Saturday night to open our eyes to Him and our surrounding world; to remind us that though there will be trouble in this world, we are not alone! Jill and Andy will help us do this.

Lastly, for those of you who are songwriters or aspiring ones, there will also be a songwriting workshop downstairs in the Park Kids Check-in area at 3pm. We want to not only support the arts at our church, but also be actively creating here!

Come refine your craft and learn from those who’ve been artists for a long time. They also stand as a married couple who’ve pursued the arts together while having a family, and we’d love to learn from them on how to pursue the arts in sustainable ways.

Hope to see as many of you as possible on Saturday!

Easter 2015 Photos, Videos, and Recap

This Sunday, we gathered at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House for our Easter service. It was so fun to have our entire church body under one roof… over 1,700 of you showed up!

We also baptized lots of brothers and sisters, as we celebrated the fact that Christ has risen.

Afterwards, we met at City of Cuernavaca Park for a BBQ.
