Seeing God in One Another

Seeing God in One another - praise through creating art and prayer.

Unconventional Prayers of the People & Pastoral Prayer  

I was convicted this week that we are all humans, created with love by God. In the image of God.  

Greeting One Another  

Those of you who are able, I would like for you to get up, and go sit right beside someone that you haven’t spoken to yet this morning. Shake their hand, greet them, and welcome them into worship with you and into your physical space.  

Go ahead! Go and sit beside someone you haven’t spoken to yet this morning. If it is harder for you to relocate, one of those of us who it is easier to uproot will come to you; just stay where you are.  

Does anyone need a partner still? Let’s each look around and make sure all have a place.  

We are going to hand out a ½ sheet of paper and a pen/pencil. We are going to make contour drawings of each other. So I invite you to look into your partner’s face and then draw them. Contour drawings are done without picking up your pencil. We will set a timer for two minutes, for those two minutes, you should look at the beloved child of God in front of you and put their essence on your paper.  

Don’t worry if you are a terrible artist, we will trust the Spirit in our endeavor to compensate for any lacking skills we have here. The point of this is to see the beauty and care of our Creator in each other. Ok, timer is set, go!
