Exploring Connections through Art

Painter and priest, Roger Hutchison had a dream which led him to paint a picture celebrating the life of Jesus. This led him to write and create his book “Jesus: God Among Us” where he invites us to join him on a personal and hope-filled journey; a journey in search of the sometimes pivotal, often ordinary, moments where one might glimpse Jesus’ face or experience his presence
firsthand.
The painting is built around celebrating Jesus as an infant, child, and adult, and Hutchison highlights sixteen points from Jesus’ life, through image and scripture, followed by the retelling of the Gospel in familiar terms, offering both “Then” and a “Now” reflections on Jesus’ encounters with others. These reflections offer readers a glimpse of Jesus both in his own time and in our time.
Questions are offered at the end of each chapter to invite us to reflect on where Jesus might be found in our daily encounters.
If you are interested in this exploration, then please order the book before our first meeting, read the first 3 chapters, and then be ready to share your thoughts, ponderings, and reflections. We will meet every 2 weeks on Thursdays at 6:30pm in the Auxiliary Room. Our first gathering will be Thursday, May 3“; following gathering dates are: 5/17 [CH4-6]; 5/31 [CH7-9]; 6/7[CH10-12];6/21[CH13-16].Ifyou have any questions. Please see Rev. Jimmie Sue.
