Address
Private Residence in Henton

Over 3 weeks the course focuses on art telling Old Testament Bible stories. Based on a book by Revd Nicholas Holtam of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, which explores the power of art to capture us and transport us beyond ourselves. Revd Nicholas finds that viewing art removes many boundaries to engaging with the Bible. Many of the paintings in the National Gallery are of Christian subjects and were created as devotional pieces for places of worship or people’s homes. Paintings of Biblical events encourage us to join the journey of former generations in getting to know God. Each week will focus on a single painting, encouraging you to look and think about it, and there will be commentary and a prayer linked to each painting. If you would like to join please book online via our website: www.chwchurches.co.uk or contact Katrina, by phone: 07704604165, or by email: [email protected]
