Lent Art Walk-Through: A Journey Through Art and Scripture

This Lent season, we invite you to take part in a spiritually enriching experience with our Lent Art Walk-Through. This unique event will focus on scripture readings used by McDougall United and Red Deer Lake United churches worship services throughout Lent, and then go into themes Holy Week, and Good Friday. The walk-through hopes to invite contemplation and creative expression, culminating in a community exhibition that showcases the artwork created by folks from our community, who were inspired by these themes. 

The exhibit will be set up in the Chapel at Red Deer Lake for Palm Sunday (April 13) and will be available for viewing from Monday to Thursday, 10:00 AM - 2:30 PM. 

Afterward, a more limited version of the exhibit will be available to view at McDougall United before and after the Good Friday Service, on Holy Saturday (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM), and on Easter Sunday.

And while we encourage all to come experience the finished product, we are also seeking artists from all backgrounds to participate by creating pieces for the event. So, whether you are an experienced artist or simply someone looking to explore a new form of expression, this event offers a space to connect with others, reflect on scripture, and share your artistic voice. You will be provided with scripture readings, inspiration resources, and the opportunity to work either in community studio sessions at McDougall United or from the comfort of your home. If you're interested in contributing a piece of art for the show, please sign up here.

Attend, contribute, or both, we truly welcome your participation!
