Lenten hymn prayer walk

Nine artists from the Glen Ellyn Covenant Church, created visual interpretations of nine hymns to make a self-led prayer walk. See below for details.

Sunday Evening Prayer in Lent

Sundays March 10 – April 7 you are invited to a time of self-guided prayer, reflection and meditation in the sanctuary.  Using hymns and songs of the faith that have been illustrated by our visual artists, you will be given the opportunity to engage your eyes, ears, mind and heart in communication with God.
This is how it will work:
  • A booklet containing the song lyrics will be provided for you.
  • A visual rendering of each song will be on the walls in the sanctuary.
  • A ‘QR’ code is available for each song which will allow you to listen from your phone.
  • Take time to meditate on the hymn and pray a response to God.  You do not need to make it through all of the hymns in one session.
  • Below, is a link to the Lenten prayer guide with URL codes and reflections of the hymn


  • For the artist's inspirations, there is a side label on each painting that you can zoom in.
If you own headphones or earbuds, you will want to bring those with you.  Staff members will be available to help you figure out this technology!
  • As in previous years, the cross will be available, in a quiet alcove to pray.
This time begins at 5:30 and ends at 6 when we all feast on soup together!

Creative Prayer- Conversing with God using art

Image
 Why pray?  "First, God.  God is the subject of life.  God is foundational for living.  If we don't have a sense of the primacy of God, we will never get it right, get life right, get our lives right.  Not God at the margins; not God as an option; not God on the weekends.  God at center and circumference; God first and last. Having a conversation with God may be less about you and more about God.  Your focus may shift away from yourself and toward your creator.  If you have a friend who constantly asks you for things but never really wants to listen to you, how deep can your relationship go?  Sometimes we forget that God has a personality and a creative side to Him, and wants to engage us at a deeper level.  Let prayer be a time to savor.  Look forward to spending time with God, using art as a tool to slow down and be with God.  Allow this to be a time in which God speaks to you and you actively seek Him.  An audible ...

Creative Prayer Workshop #3 Paint Your Heart Out! Painting your emotions

Image
  We had a wonderful workshop with Allison leading us in painting our emotions.  We started with putting a color on paper of what a description of anger, joy, peace and love would look like to each of us in color. The next paintings were guided layers of emotions, perhaps a lie we believed, and the truth that we know, all represented in colors and layers.  Some of the pictures from the evening are below.
