2021 Lenten Art Exhibition: In Good Hands
Our Lenten theme this year, “In Good Hands”, was all about trusting in the steadfast love of God in the midst of everything that seems to be affected by the pandemic in ways we could have never imagined. When we feel felt like everything was changing and nothing could be trusted, when we felt lost as to where to turn for comfort and strength, we were constantly reminded of God’s sovereignty and promise that God will never leave us or forsake us.
That’s why this year, our artists focused on God’s healing touch in our lives-- God’s redeeming, ever-creating, comforting and loving touch. God’s hands. When we think about hands, we think about physical touch; we think about care and love. As they created art pieces for this exhibition, they were encouraged to ask the following questions:
-
Where do you see God’s healing/comforting/loving touch hands during the pandemic?
-
Where do you see people’s touches (metaphorically as well as literally) that’s healing and loving during this pandemic?
-
What depiction of physical hands might you find inspiring—either in the Bible (praying hands, crucified hands, saving hands, etc) or in our world today?
What you see here today is the culmination of weeks of reflecting, meditating and living through the pandemic, trusting in the loving hands of God even when the claws of despair tried hard to get a hold of us.
There’s so much joy, agony, trust, love, gratitude and longing in all of the artworks. May you experience the beauty of creation and peace of resting in God’s goodness as your eyes and hearts rest on each piece of extraordinary artwork created by our incredible artists from Kirk in the Hills, First Presbyterian Church of Troy and Starr Presbyterian Church.
In Good Hands,
