Tabula Rasa by Linda Witte Henke - Current Paraments at Christ Church
Tabula Rasa is a textile art work consisting of eight panels, each measuring 14.75 inches by 71 inches. The work references connections between each person’s life/faith journey and the seasons of the Christian liturgical calendar, inviting reflection on how our experiences write the stories of our lives. Created from cotton, wool, and silk fabrics that were dyed, over-dyed, and stenciled with paint, as well as fabric commercially printed from designs developed by the artist from her personal journals, this work features translucent silk organza "windows" that showcase symbols of the seasons. The pieces were embellished with appliqué and improvisational machine stitching. Tabula Rasa is the work Linda Witte Henke, a member here at Christ Church. Ordained in the ELCA, Henke pastored two congregations in the Denver area before moving to Indianapolis and devoting full-time energies to her art. Specializing in work that is spiritually expressive and/or purposed for liturgical use, her art is displayed in juried group, invitational, and solo exhibitions in the United States, Europe and Asia, where it also resides in corporate, private, and parish collections. Learn more about Henke’s ministry in the arts at: www.lindahenke.com Brochures with more information on the art work are available in the narthex.

Why Is Our Website So... White?
Beginning May 17, 2012 Our Lord has ascended to the Father! While He walked among us on earth, He ministered to the poor, sick, and downtrodded. When He ascended to our Father, He promised that the Holy Spirit would come to dwell with us and in us as our advocate and constant companion. In Heaven, Jesus is among us and with us in every time and place. How blessed are we to walk with the Lord right now! Click the banner to view as full size. |
Pastor's Latest Sermon!
Beyond the Golden Rule Some things in life can be commanded and some cannot. A general can command his army to charge into battle to defend its country, but cannot command them to love their country. A boss can command his workers to meet certain production quotas, but he cannot command them to love their jobs. A parent can command that her child eat her spinach, but she cannot command her to love her spinach. Today we command children to remember their mothers, but we cannot command them to love their mothers. We can command many things from people, but one thing we can never command from them: their love. We love because we choose to, because we want to, because we GET TO. Posted on Sunday, May 13, 2012 |
Family Memory Verse for Week of May 13, 2012
Is there anything better than being wrapped up in a warm blanket during a chilly night? How about being wrapped in the arms of your family? The gospel message this week shows that God loves us so much that HE constantly has US wrapped in his arms! Hoes does that make you feel? |
