Ash Wednesday Ekphrasis: An Encouter of Word and Art
Ekphrasis, the Greek word meaning “to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name,” is traditionally a verbal or visual description of another work of art. At heart, it seeks to allow one medium of art to encounter another, and to allow one artist to step into the world of a fellow creator. This Ash Wednesday, three Resurrection artists offer the ekphrastic results of their time spent with van Gogh’s “Pietà.” This poem, reflection, and painting are meant to lead you into a time of reflective worship as we enter into the season of Lent.Ekphrasis, the Greek word meaning “to proclaim or call an inanimate object by name,” is traditionally a verbal or visual description of another work of art.

For Children Only: Matthew 18:1-4
Throughout the gospels, Jesus often mingled with we might call “little people”—social misfits like lepers, the chronically ill, religious outsiders, tax-collectors and prostitutes, and especially children. Our world is also filled with “little people”: angry adolescents, “unwanted” babies, “old folks” crammed into nursing homes, the mentally ill (and those who love them), moral “failures,” immigrants, and the nearly invisible substrata known as the poor, or what one author calls “the bottom billion.Throughout the gospels, Jesus often mingled with we might call “little people”—social misfits like lepers, the chronically ill, religious outsiders, tax-collectors and prostitutes, and especially children.
