We are excited to invite submissions for our inaugural art exhibition themed ‘Soul Inspired'. All art forms are welcome such as painting, drawing, photography, ceramics, pottery, sculpture, woodwork, needlework, to name a few.

The idea for this exhibition was to give artists of all ages and abilities an opportunity to exhibit their work as a means of diversion and healing for our communities after lockdowns, and to celebrate the courage of artists. The courage to take an idea or concept from your mind and to convey that to an actual work is immense, and we need to celebrate that courage.

We offer this exhibition as a celebration of these courageous artists, for your enjoyment, and in the hope that it will inspire our visitors to try the art form they have thought about and never quite had the courage to commit to.

Note:

• submissions are required by Tuesday 30th August.
• you do not have to be a parishioner to make a submission.

It seems society can never get away from the problems posed by status and rank. It was no different in the time of Jesus. This time,(Mark 10.35-45), the apostles James and John are requesting favoured treatment from Jesus. With an eye to the future, they were aiming at being part of Christ’s inner circle, sitting beside him at his right and left hand in glory. After calming the indignation of the other apostles, Jesus clearly points out a new standard of greatness and status. He is saying that success in his kingdom is not measured by worldly standards. There is no place in his community for ambitious power hungry people who are motivated solely by self-interest. Jesus wants his followers to think in terms of service rather than of authority. In any community he wants those who have authority to be seen at the service of those under their guidance. Christ lived what he preached. His whole life from working as a carpenter to dying on the cross set the example of such service. In so doing he was calling on his followers to share in spreading his gospel by giving themselves completely to his way of life.
