Worship and the Arts
We are called by God to be artists of a new creation. This creative vocation is a sign of the new life that is ours in Jesus Christ. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we have received gifts of curiosity, imagination, playfulness and delight, of poetry and song, dance, drama and vision. How will you use those sacred gifts? We hope that the resources in this Web site will offer you ideas and inspiration as you seek to respond to your creative calling.
