2017 Art as Worship Exhibit

Thank you to everyone who attended our gala opening on November 4, 2017. We had such a wonderful night of art, music, goodies, and conversation. The artwork will be hanging in our gallery hallways through the beginning of January, so if you are able, we invite you to visit in person, because photos really do not do justice to the artwork. {Please contact the church office at 254.772.9349 to inquire when the exhibit will be open during business hours or visit on Sunday mornings or Christmas Eve for worship.} But for those who are at a distance, please enjoy this virtual gallery of the 2017 Art as Worship exhibit with the theme of MYSTERY.

For those pieces of art with a price listed, please contact me if you are interested in making a purchase.  We will get you touch with the artist to make arrangements.  Thank you for your support of creativity in the community!
