Advent II visuals, 2014


The Martin family created our Advent visual this week. They focused on the Isaiah passage and explored themes of making straight, comfort and sheep. They included their own nativity set from home as part of their installation. Here are some pictures.

Advent Wreath and Visuals 2014


Spring-boarding off something I saw in a workshop setting this fall, our Advent wreath at FirstLight this year is a "found art" installation. Families have been given the readings for a specific Sunday, and have been asked to read together and mark concepts and images that could be conveyed visually using items found around their homes. One item specifically each week is a candle. The display changes weekly, though each candle will stay. Here are some images from the first week. Key words the Lindsey family used are: star, leaves, potter, clay, word of God, and mountains. Here are some pics. We're off to a good start!
