LITURGICAL ART
Creating Beauty Where We Are
Calling all artists: submit work for our Lent Prayer Guide and Lent Reflections booklet.
We’re seeking visual pieces that help create space for reflection, repentance, and hope during Lent. Use the prompt below as a guide for themes and tones we’re looking for—quiet, contemplative imagery; symbols of renewal, soil, light, and shadow; simple, tender depictions of longing, confession, restoration, and God’s presence in the ordinary. We are also open to pieces that stretch or loosely defy those boundaries.
If you’d like to submit artwork, please complete the submission form below. Space is limited, so we won’t be able to include every submission, but we will do our best to feature as many pieces as we can.
Writers interested in future creative writing opportunities may sign up for the separate mailing list form. Thank you for helping shape this season of prayer and reflection.

Why We Do it
Liturgical art beautifully transforms our worship space, setting the tone for each season and inviting the congregation into a deeper experience of faith and reflection. Through their creativity, our artists not only share their personal expressions of belief but also inspire the entire community to engage more fully in the sacred rhythms of our church year.
Melanie MacKillop
Do you remember our wonderful still-life series that was used from Palm Sunday (April 2nd) to the end of Eastertide (April 21st)? Melanie MacKillop created four still-life photos that represented Palm Sunday, Holy Week (Prayer Nights), Good Friday, and Easter Sunday which was used for the remainder of Eastertide. In case you didn’t know, much of what Melanie used in her photos were pieces that she found around her house. I got a chance to meet with Melanie and learn a little bit more about her process.
