On Friday, November 7 at 6:00pm, we will host an opening reception and welcome works from the Japanese print artist, Sadao Watanabe, to the Lenz Gallery. He is best known for his prints that meld biblical imagery with the traditional Japanese folk art known as mingei. Watanabe's work portrays the Christian gospel with a distinctive use of crumpled wet paper mixed with mineral pigments suspended in soy milk, known as katazome.

"Witness to Faith" serves as a visual testament ("witness") to his Christian faith through biblical scenes. Stay tuned for more details soon.

The Art of Storytelling demonstrates how illustration brings stories to life! Featuring a number of local illustrators, you will be delighted by the whimsy and power of visual storytelling.

Join us for the opening reception at First Pres on Friday, February 6, from 6-8pm. 

Date: Friday, March 6
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Worship & Arts Center

Ballet Magnificat!’s latest original production, The Call, choreographed by Assistant Artistic Director Silas Fennema, promises to captivate audiences with its profound storytelling, breathtaking choreography, and powerful message. Rooted in faith and purpose, it recounts the extraordinary story of Elisabeth Elliott and her fellow missionaries who ventured into the Ecuadorian rainforest to share the Good News of the Gospel with a hostile tribe. Audiences will be transported to the heart of the Amazon, witnessing both the challenges and triumphs of a mission that changed lives forever.
