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.
Esther Gray
All history is relative, and no item is too mundane. These are just a few things that we can learn from Esther’s pieces which were used for our Ordinary Time II and Mercy Movement worship guide covers. Esther is a very methodic artist who has the ability to use any item at her disposal when making her art. In fact, she prefers it. Keep reading to learn more.
