Beautiful Savior: Encountering Christ through the Arts
Sundays, July 13-Aug. 17
10:15-11 a.m. · Bagby Parish Hall

“O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,” we are told (1 Chron. 16:29). In Bible studies, we spend a lot of time seeking to understand the truth about God and the goodness of God’s will for our lives.  But while the beauty of worship is a deep part of who we are at St. Martin’s, we spend less time reflecting on how beauty draws us to God.

Join us for a six-week series led primarily by local artists, poets, musicians, and writers, including Joy Hilley, our Riverway artist-in-residence, and
Dr. Matthew Boyleston, poet and professor at Houston Christian University. We’ll explore themes and questions such as: How do we hear the Gospel in a great sacred musician like Bach, or in modern poets like Eliot and Auden?  How do we see the Gospel in the visual arts?

Join us this summer!
