This Sunday, August 13,  we’ll continue exploring Process Art through the lens of Visio Divina – using art to come closer to scripture. The picture is of Mollie Donihe and Elizabeth Caldwell’s Visio Deck for families. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Mollie, a wildly talented fiber artist, over the last two summers at the Wild Goose, while Elizabeth is a big name in Children’s Ministry and was Mollie’s mentor in divinity school. We’ll have these cards and other examples on hand to help us explore this creative practice.
