Art

Arts Pastor David Taylor has a new book out called "For the Beauty of the Church: Casting a Vision for the Arts". It is a collection of essays written by experts in the fields related to the Arts in the church. David also contributes to the content detailing some of the things that he learned while serving as Arts Pastor at local congregation Hope Chapel. This Saturday, June 12th @7PM there will be a book signing hosted at Hope Chapel to celebrate "For the Beauty of the Church". Here are some of the details:

David will be asked a few questions about the authors of the book, the process of editing it, and the responses received so far to it (which include reviews in Christianity Today, First Things, and The Christian Century). Other questions that might be explored are:

- How should churches use the arts well?
- How can churches and pastors respond to artists well?
- How should Christians conceive their role in creating art in the marketplace?
- What can artists teach churches and their pastors?

The evening will also include:

1. Some of the visual art that was featured in the book.
2. A musical performance by professional musicians Ellen Johnson (flute), Karla Hamelin (cello) and Kim Perlak (classical guitar).
3. Possibly a modern dance piece.
4. A reception at the end of the evening, courtesy of gourmand Randy Lewis

We will be there... and we highly encourage you to be there as well, it will be a great night!
