Arts at St. Bart's - Mask Project
Due Sunday, August 9
Theme: Wearing a Mask is Way to Show Our Love for Others
Jesus tells us to “Love others as well as you love yourself.” What better way to demonstrate how much we love others during this pandemic than by wearing a face mask? Let’s encourage each other and those around us with these two Arts at St. Bart's ministry projects. Choose to create a poster or make a mask - or complete both! When finished, take a picture of your poster and/or of yourself wearing the face mask and send to arts@stbartschurch.org by August 9. Detailed instructions for the poster and mask can be found on the Arts at St. Bart's webpage. Children and teens are encouraged to participate also

Who is Your Jesus?
Wednesday, September 2-16, 10:30 a.m. & 7 p.m., on Zoom
We seem to be living in a world and country that is hard to recognize. A terrible pandemic is ravaging the nation and the world. There are riots in our streets. We have an unbelievable national debt. Our country is divided. Here’s a question, what would Jesus do today if he was here with us? How would he lead us out of this mess, encourage us, guide us and care for us? Join us for a three-part course to explore these questions and much more. Each session will be one hour in length and offered on Zoom at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. so everyone can attend. We will explore a new question each week – Who was Jesus? Who is Jesus to you? How would Jesus lead us out of this mess? Please join us at either time as we take this road to see who Jesus really is to all of us.
