Stations after Pentecost

About three years ago a a very talented group of artists from All Saints' under the leadership of The Rev. Eric Stelle  formed and offered Stations of the Cross.  Last year the group offered Stations of Resurrection.  And you guessed it, this year the artists offer Stations after Pentecost under the leadership of The Rev. Anna Russell Friedman.


It seems especially appropriate that artists reflect on the work of the Holy Spirit with creativity and imagination.  From Genesis to Revelation, we learn that the Holy Spirit gives beauty and depth to creation.  This offering from our artists give the community another way to worship the living Christ.  The beauty and depth of the Holy Spirit breathes life into our worship of the living Christ in our midst today.  

Stations after Pentecost is a wonderful witness to the beauty, wonder, and mystery of God.  With many different expressions of God's love through the individual offerings of the artists, we have been given a wonderful space to reflect on the richness of creation, the very creation that Christ has redeemed in his flesh.

The work that has been offered is diverse in nature.  Some of the artists used traditional mediums, some will give live performances, and even some have taken advantage of technology.  The diversity reminds me of God's creative response to the world through the Spirit.  The diversity also reminds me of the many gifts that God has given us, and God wants us to celebrate and delight in these gifts.



Anybody is invited to join us at All Saints' in this celebration of the Spirit.  We hope you come and pray at each station and renew your witness to the work of God as a member of Christ's Church.
