Visual Arts and Faith
The Liturgical Arts Guild is comprised of a group of Central artists who provide artwork for our worship spaces. Our artists have created Lenten fabric balcony drapes, paper lace-cut banners for specific services and celebrations (Advent, Christmas, Easter, weddings and holy unions, Presbyterian Seal, baptism, and the church's 150th anniversary celebration, to name a few). The guild also sponsors congregation-wide art projects such as the Wing and a Prayer Project.
