The summer season is over. The Fall season is about to kick off. In this month's newsletter I would like to offer you some resources that might help you in your spiritual journey in the coming weeks.
|

|
Every week I compile visual resources for the texts in both the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary and put them in one place. You can navigate to the main page any time, or get a link to the page emailed to you each week. CLICK HERE to subscribe. The email comes with a short devotional that I write for each week's texts. When you subscribe you will receive a FREE gift of the resource Meet the Bible.

Preparing for the Gospel of John
The Narrative Lectionary is beginning the year of John. I have two new resources for you this year to help you engage with this beloved Gospel:
|
- A new visual outline (pictured above). The PowerPoint for this offers a walk through of each section with fun annotations. CLICK HERE to view.
- The Gospel of John in Spanish! I worked with a translator over the summer and we produced A Cartoonist's Guide to John in Spanish. The online version is finished and viewable. CLICK HERE to check it out. Stay tuned for the PowerPoint and the print version to be available.

This network is a place for you to connect with others who are interested in exploring spirituality and scripture through visual art and creativity.

Give it a try!
