PSALMS / PROVERBS INFO MEETING #2
December 20, 2009
ABOUT THE PSALMS PROJECT (title to be determined)
We’re making a wild, stream-of-conscious installation filling the gallery walls floor to ceiling using whatever materials we can come up with.
This is your project. This is our project.
ABOUT THE BOOK OF PSALMS
“The Book of Psalms represents a rich tapestry of prayer and praise. Some psalms reflect a texture of deep despair, others glow with a deep peace in the Lord's strength, still others bubble with an exuberant exaltation of the Most High God. They cover the range of human emotion and experience. What they all have in common is prayer, a reaching out to God from every imaginable experience.” – Ralph Wilson

Why so many meetings? We need to work steadily up until Feb. 26 or we’re going to be overwhelmed and the exhibit will be bad.
NEXT STEPS
STUDY PSALMS. Read or listen to the Psalms and pay special attention to the imagery being used.
GENERATE IDEAS FOR PSALMS (DUE 1-1-10). Write down concepts, processes, materials, and exhibit titles that might be good to include in the gallery installation. Bradley Speaks and Michael Winters will select the best ideas that will go together for the final install. These core ideas will provide the framework for everything to connect with. The exhibit can only be as good or as bad as the ideas we put together.
CONTACT INFO – Send Michael (mwinters@sojournchurch.com) addresses for out-of-town people who you think would like to participate in the “Wisdom” project.
