Christmas Theology for the Eye
9:30 AM, Karlfried Froehlich, Assembly Room
Much happened in theology, culture, and the arts during the time of the European Renaissance, a period in the history of art which has always held a special place in the hearts of American art lovers. We will focus on the intriguing development of the Incarnation in Renaissance art, Italian and Northern European. This development reflects the interest in new modes of painting (e.g., the use of perspective) but also new attitudes toward the natural and the social world as it was experienced by the individual artist, and a broadening of the spiritual dimension.
You are invited to give a poinsettia in memory or in honor of a loved one. A full listing of poinsettias will be printed in the worship bulletin on December 23 and deacons will deliver the plants to those who need support and care. The suggested donation is $20. Make checks payable to Nassau Presbyterian Church. For your convenience, order cards are available in the main office.
