During Lent 2022, a call went out to the families of First Lutheran – an invitation to share your pandemic tales through art. 180+ pieces were lovingly created and together formed a poignant mosaic that adorned our Commons – each canvas a personal story, each tile a part of our communal testament to faith and endurance.
The following year, Easter 2023, marked a tender farewell to the physical mosaic display, but the spirit and stories live on. We’re excited to announce that these narratives have been preserved in a sacred digital space, accessible to all. You’re invited to explore the My Story. Our Story. God’s Story. Digital Photo Book, a place where our shared experiences continue to inspire.
To those who added their voice to this tapestry, we’re deeply thankful. Please stop by the Gathering Area to collect your canvas tile. Didn’t get a chance to see the mosaic? Come by to glimpse the myriad ways our community expressed their encounters with the pandemic.
May this collection of stories stand as a monument of God’s ongoing work within us – a work of relentless love, grace and the infinite promise of new horizons.
