Circles of Faith Art Project


Confirmation Class Idea: Circles of Faith


Paint large wood circles with acrylic paint to represent idea
"My faith looks like...".
In the past when I've led this project, students will paint ways they live out/experience their faith. (See image sample.) 
Projects can be looked back on, added to, or used throughout, 
and displayed on day of celebration in your tradition's Confirmation process.

The circle will be divided into 4 sections: 
Prayer, Worship, Service, People that help my faith growth.
(These are four suggested areas to jump start this project to share with your youth.) Please prepare your youth by sharing this information and also have them wear a smock or clothes that can get paint on them. 
Some youth choose to paint pictures as icon for each area and some choose to write out their ideas in text. Either approach is fine.

Let me know how the project goes for you if you try it. I'll post our youth's project results here as they are completed.  -T

Selah Season

 Holy Shenanigans Podcast Episode #162 Selah Season Tara continues sane spiritual practices with an opportunity to practice, "Selah". This week's Scripture focus:  Psalm 62. Questions for Discussion: 1. What Spiritual Practices do you enjoy? 2. Are your Spiritual Practices Active or more Contemplative?  3. Do you "Selah", before you Serve? 4. Do you think pause (Selah) should come before Service? Why or why not? 5.  If you could give advice to a friend about the value of pause, what would say? 6. Where can you find a pocket for Selah/pause in your day?

St. Brigid Blessings on the Threshold

In preparation for St. Brigid’s day, I consider the blessings that are with us on the threshold.  What are the blessings, neither at the beginning or end, but in the middle.  In transitional spaces that take up most of our days? I think that the threshold can be a space of healing. An opportunity to see things in a new way. A river that takes us to new places of grace. May you feel the presence of love in your thresholds. May it flow from all our beginnings through to each end. May the space of threshold be a balm like lavender, healing our battle wounds. May we find healing in the inbetween. Healing lives on the threshold. #blessings #stbrigid #taralamontart
