Artists from the congregation will display their in Stone Hall, based around the theme: "Fully Human, Fully God" using John 1:14 as inspiration.

Pastor Learned wanted to extend the invitation to create to children as well. Read his invitation below...

An invitation from Pastor Doug Learned:
During the Christmas season, perhaps you and your children talked about God coming to earth to be with his people. Keep those conversations alive by encouraging your child to take part in the children's section of the upcoming Faith and Art Exhibit and Reception in Stone Hall on February 26. The theme of this event is The Scripture verse artists are using for inspiration is John 1:14, "God became flesh and dwelt among us."

All ages and any art media/form are welcome. Submissions to Jill Meek are due by Thursday, February 16. Foster in your child an enthusiasm for art and a sense of how it can express our faith. I hope your child or children can participate. Questions? Contact Megan Stuart, MStuart@NationalPres.org, (202) 537-7483.

john 1

The Word was first.
The Word was God.
  
Everything was created through him...
What came into existence was Life,
     and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light  blazed out of the darkness:
     the darkness couldn't put it out.

The Word became flesh and blood,
     and moved into the neighborhood.

John pointed him out and called, "This is the One!"

We all live off his generous bounty,
     gift after gift after gift.
