The Art Pastor explore spirituality and scripture with me through art and creativity

January 2026

Hi reader,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It is time to reflect on what has been, and look with hope to what may become. Here are four things I'd like to share with you this month that I hope will offer you fuel for your journey in the coming year.
  1. The Revised Common Lectionary begins Year A which is anchored in the Gospel of Matthew.
  2. The Narrative Lectionary begins its fourth year and will walk through the Gospel of John from Christmas to Easter.
  3. An new resource called The Art Pastor's Guide to the Liturgical Calendar.
  4. A review of my artwork in 2025. May my creative process offer a spark of light and joy in your life.
P.S. Don't forget that you can join me on Zoom every Monday afternoon for a text study on The Art Pastor's Network.
Sharing this journey with you,
Steve Thomason
The Art Pastor
Visual Resources to Study the Gospel of Matthew

Visual Resources to Study the Gospel of Matthew

The Revised Common Lectionary is back to Year A. That means we will spend the next year reading through the Gospel of Matthew. In this post I want to offer you FIVE WAYS that you can visually engage Matthew that will help you study, preach and teach this amazing Gospel. Tell the Story …

Beginning a year of John

The Narrative Lectionary begins a year in the Gospel of John. I invite you to check out my many resources to study this Gospel.
I am excited to share this new resource. It is a visual, interactive guide to the liturgical calendar. Use it online to learn about the seasons of the church year, or download the PowerPoint and image pack to teach others in your own way.
