Summer art, part 3

We hung the third and last grouping of student artwork this week. We are completing a planned installation of works by children in our congregation. The sermon series is long-past, but we wanted to give all the artists a chance to be seen by a broad cross-section of our worshiping congregation. There for we paced the work out to last through the whole summer, and into the beginning of the school year. Here are the pieces submitted by some of our middle- and high-school students.
